These reports detail the stock of telecommunications infrastructure owned and operated by Australian telecommunications carriers. They quantify the customer coverage and geographic reach, level of existing and planned investment, network applications, and the extent of competition between infrastructure operators. The ACCC engaged BIS Schrapnel to prepare the 2001 report on telecommunications infrastructures in Australia. The reports for 2002, 2004 and 2007 were developed in-house by the ACCC.

The ACCC has subsequently developed an infrastructure report jointly with the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
