The analogue subscription television broadcast carriage service encompasses the terrestrial carriage of analogue signals used for transmitting a pay-TV service, as well as the use (or potential use) of conditional access services. The service was declared on 1 September 1999 and was due to expire in July 2007.
The ACCC commenced a review of the declaration in November 2006 with the release of a discussion paper. The deadline for submissions by interested parties in response to the discussion paper was 20 December 2006. The ACCC received three submissions in response to the discussion paper. Public versions of those submissions are available below.
Division 5 of Part XIC of the Trade Practices Act enables access providers to voluntarily lodge written access undertakings with the ACCC specifying the terms and conditions upon which they agree to supply a specified service.
