ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ is required to report annually to the Minister for Communications on changes in the prices paid for telecommunications services in Australia. This report is a legislative requirement under s 151CM(1)(a) in Division 12 of Part XIB of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (the Act).

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ administers the access regime for the digital radio access service under section 118 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992 (Radiocommunications Act).

During the domestic mobile roaming declaration inquiry, the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ received submissions from many regional stakeholders regarding regional mobile issues, such as inadequate mobile coverage and coverage information. At the end of the inquiry, the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ released a separate paper.

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ is required under Part 6 of the Water Charge Rules 2010 to decide whether on-river infrastructure operators meet the definition of ‘Part 6 operators’ and, if so, whether to grant them an exemption from the operation of the requirements of Part 6 of the water charge rules.

Non-discrimination provisions were introduced into Part XIC of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (CCA) as part of the National Broadband Network (NBN) reforms.

On 30 July 2021 the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ commenced a public inquiry, under Part 25 of the Telecommunications Act 1997, into the declared wholesale asymmetrical digital subscriber line (WADSL) service. The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ has released a Consultation and position paper to facilitate its inquiry.

The Government has enacted the Regional Broadband Scheme (RBS) to fund the loss making components of the NBN (i.e. fixed wireless and satellite services) through a levy on fixed line infrastructure providers.

Telstra’s migration plan requires it to develop six 'required measures' that relate to the operating processes Telstra will follow when disconnecting customers from its copper and HFC networks. This project page contains information and correspondence about Telstra’s Roadmap and Work Plan for the development of the required measures.

In 2010, the Australian government asked the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ and NBN Co to publicly consult and agree the number and location of initial points of interconnection to the National Broadband Network that will best meet the long-term interests of end-users.

This project page contains Telstra’s submission of required measures 2, 3, 4 and 6.
