Telstra's proposed Migration Plan variation to facilitate rollout of Fibre to the Curb1 Dec 2017

The ACCC has released a discussion paper on Telstra’s proposed variation to the Migration Plan to facilitate the rollout of Fibre to the Curb for the NBN together with some other proposed variations to the Plan. 

Telstra’s proposed variation includes changes to:

  • facilitate the rollout of FTTC as an access technology for the NBN
  • amend the duration of the Order Stability Period  (a period which allows Telstra time to clear pending orders before the process of permanently disconnecting existing services and connecting to the NBN commences)
  • clarify the application of the Cease Sale restrictions  to include all serviceable locations in multi dwelling units.

The ACCC’s consideration of the proposed variation is limited to whether or not the Migration Plan, as varied, complies with the Migration Plan Principles issued by the Australian Government in 2015.

The ACCC has undertaken five weeks of public consultation. All public submissions received by the ACCC are published below. The ACCC is now considering its decision.
