ACCC not to take action to block TPG's Fibre to the Basement network rollout
11 September 2014
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission announced today that it has completed its investigation into a complaint that TPG Limited’s (TPG) plans to connect large apartment buildings in metropolitan areas to its existing fibre networks and to use fibre-to-the-basement technology to supply high speed broadband services to residents of those buildings would be in breach of the ‘NBN level playing field provisions’ in the Telecommunications Act.
The ACCC does not intend to not take any action to prevent TPG implementing its plans having concluded that TPG’s planned rollout is permitted under the Telecommunications Act.
The ‘NBN level playing field provisions’ prohibit the use of networks other than the NBN to supply high speed broadband services to small business or residential customers, unless the network operator supplies on a wholesale basis only and is subject to open access obligations."
This also opens door for Amcom in Perth and Optus Australia wide. Telstra could do it as a blocking move on TPG but due to structural separation is unlikely to have enough time based on ROI.
