The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has indicated that it has a favourable view of the revised Special Access Undertaking submitted by NBN Co, the company rolling out Australia's national broadband network, last week.

National Broadband Network operator NBN Co’s proposed variation to its Special Access Undertaking (SAU) has been rejected by the competition regulator the ACCC.

The ACCC has decided to grant re-authorisation for five years until 11 May 2028 to airlines Qantas and Jetstar for the continued coordination of two Jetstar Asian-based joint ventures and, in certain circumstances, between Jetstar Japan and Japan Airlines.

Smaller broadband providers continued to increase their share in the NBN wholesale market and expand their presence across the NBN in the September quarter 2022, the ACCC reports.

Smaller electricity retailers are finding it harder to manage their exposure to high and volatile wholesale electricity prices, and declining competition in the retail market could further increase energy prices for consumers and businesses, the ACCC warns in its latest Electriity Market Inquiry Report.

The competition watchdog, the ACCC has published National Broadband Network operator NBN Co’s revised proposed variation to its Special Access Undertaking and the material that NBN Co has so far provided in support of its proposal.

Australians who get their broadband through NBN fixed-line connections experienced slightly faster download speeds in May 2022 than they did in February 2022, according to the ACCC’s latest quarterly Measuring Broadband Australia report.

The Internet Association of Australia (IAA) has thrown its support behind Communications Minister Michelle Rowland in rejecting NBN Co’s proposed variation to the Special Access Undertaking (SAU).

Almost 8.6 million residential broadband services are now on the NBN and 58% are on high speed services of 50 Mbps, with an additional 15% of customers on speeds of over 50 Mbps, the ACCC’s latest NBN Wholesale Market Indicators Report reveals.

More than 8.5 million residential broadband services are now on the NBN, and over 75% of them are on high speed services of at least 50 Mbps, the ACCC’s latest NBN Wholesale Market Indicators Report reveals.

The ACCC reported that about 400,000 residential broadband customers moved to higher speed plans in the June 2021 quarter as the recent trend of Australian consumers upgrading to faster NBN connections continued, as indicated its latest NBN Wholesale Market Indicators Report.

Australia’s competition regulator the ACCC says a new regulatory model for the National Broadband Network is one step closer after a telecommunications industry roundtable last week brought together NBN Co, broadband retailers, industry groups, consumer representatives and government.

More than 500,000 Australians moved to faster NBN plans in the first quarter of 2021, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission says in its latest Wholesale Market Indicators Report.

Consumers on NBN fixed-line connections experienced strong speed performance in December last year, with retail service providers achieving between 85.0 and 98.9% of
maximum plan speeds across all fixed-line plans in the busy evening hours of 7-11pm in December 2020, according to the latest Measuring Broadband Australia report from the competition regulator, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
