In 2003, the Minister for Communications Information Technology and the Arts requested that the ACCC provide him with a report advising on the extent to which emerging market structures are likely to affect competition across the communications sector, including through the provision of bundled pay TV, telephony and broadband services. This request followed the announcement of the pay TV content supply arrangements between Foxtel and Optus and between Foxtel and Telstra, which the Commission subsequently accepted subject to conditions.
