Wholesale ADSL service declaration inquiry 2016

Overview

On 4 July 2016 the ACCC commenced a public inquiry into whether the wholesale asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL) service should continue to be declared.

Under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 the ACCC must review the current wholesale ADSL service declaration before it expires in February 2017.

The ACCC has issued a discussion paper inviting submissions on whether declaration of wholesale ADSL services would promote the long-term interests of end-users, including whether it is likely to promote competition, achieve any-to-any connectivity and encourage the economically efficient use of, and investment, in infrastructure.

Submissions to the discussion paper are due by 29 July 2016.

The ACCC prefers to receive electronic copies of submissions, either in PDF or Microsoft Word format allowing for the submission text to be searched. Please email submissions to:
