Access pricing papersUnder Part XIC of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 from 1 January 2011, the ACCC is responsible for setting terms and conditions, including prices for access to particular declared services by making an access determination. One of the prime issues that arises under these processes is the determination of an appropriate access price. Access agreements between access-seekers and access-providers take precedence over any determination of access terms and conditions set by the ACCC. Part XIC of the now superseded Trade Practices Act 1974 required the ACCC to arbitrate disputes between access-seekers and access providers for the prices, terms and conditions for access to declared telecommunications services. To assist in this, the ACCC developed pricing principles. Access pricing papers for specific declared services can be accessed via the links below. |
