Eleven telcos have been warned by the communications regulator, the Australian Communications and Media Authority, for failing to tell potential new customers that they do not provide priority assistance services, or failing to name a telco that does.

Telecommunications carrier Vertel has met the compliance obligations including a declaration of conformity and RCM labelling for the Telo TE390 and the Telo M5 LTE devices used in their Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) solution.

The telecommunications industry lobby group, Communications Alliance, has told the Australian Communications and Media Authority it wants stronger, enforceable protections for Australia’s telecommunications consumers.
