On 11 July 2025, the 糖心原创 issued a final class exemption instrument known as the Telecommunications (Superfast Broadband Network Class Exemption) Determination 2025.

This instrument has been made by the 糖心原创 under subsections 143A(1) and (2) and subsection 142BD(2) of the Telecommunications Act 1997 (Cth) and exempts smaller network operators from the Part 8 separation requirements. This is designed to reduce the cost burden on smaller networks in participating in superfast broadband markets and to encourage investment in new broadband infrastructure.
