This discussion paper begins a combined public inquiry into whether nine wholesale telecommunications services that support the provision of broadband, voice and data transmission services should continue to be regulated.
Access to telecommunications services in Australia is usually unregulated unless the services are ‘declared’. Once a service is declared, the supplier of that service must allow other providers to access it upon request. The ACCC can also set price and non-price terms and conditions of access to declared services, including a maximum price.
The nine services that this inquiry will examine are subject to current declarations that will expire in 2024 are:
- Domestic transmission capacity service
- Unconditioned local loop service
- Line sharing service
- Wholesale line rental
- Local carriage service
- Fixed originating access service
- Fixed terminating access service
- Wholesale Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
- Domestic mobile terminating access service
This discussion paper invites submissions on whether the ACCC should extend, revoke, vary the following 9 declarations or whether to allow them to expire.
Submissions are open until 5pm Wednesday 12 July 2023.
