Telstra has notified the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission of an access dispute with PowerTel Limited under Part XIC of the Trade Practices Act 1974.
The dispute relates to certain terms and conditions on which PowerTel Limited proposes to supply Telstra Corporation Limited with the Domestic PSTN Terminating Access Service.
Accordingly, the ACCC has begun the arbitration process. Given that the legislation contemplates that arbitrations be conducted in private, the ACCC will not be making any public comment at this stage.
