On 15 January 2025, the ACCC commenced a public inquiry about its proposal to vary the final access determination for the superfast broadband access service (SBAS).
On 19 December 2024, the ACCC made binding rules of conduct that apply to an SBAS provided by Uniti Group Pty Ltd, Opticomm Pty Ltd and their related bodies corporate. The ACCC must, within 30 days of making binding rules of conduct, commence to hold a public inquiry about a proposal to vary the final access determination.
The ACCC’s public inquiry will consider the price and non-price terms and conditions of access to the declared SBAS, taking into account the long-term interests of end-users and other matters under section 152BCA of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).
