Telecommunications company Aussie Broadband and telco alliance body Commpete have welcomed Communication Minister Michelle Rowland’s call for more affordable internet bills by rejecting NBN Co’s proposed variations to the Special Access Undertaking.

As predicted the ACCC's consultation and the outcome of the NBN Co SAU variation has been dragged out until after the election.

NBN Co has realised a discussion paper to industry on proposed changes to the Special Access Undertaking (SAU) lodged with the ACCC. The SAU sets out the framework that governs the terms on which the company supplies services to the industry. The proposed variation includes options to change to pricing with only the Access Virtual Circuit (AVC)component, dropping the contraversial Connectivity Virtual Circuit (CVC) component. It also adds all the current Governments Multi-Technology Mix access technologies, such as Fibre-to-the-Building, Node, Curb (FTTB, FTTN, FTTC) and Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC).

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is seeking industry submissions to a consultation paper on proposed changes to the regulatory framework governing NBN Co’s Special Access Undertaking.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has determined that the National Broadband Network company’s prices are not too high and that the government owned company responsible for administering the NBN is earning revenue within allowable limits.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has released the first consultation paper on the NBN’s Special Access Undertaking (SAU).

NBN Co has pre-empted the likely rejection by the ACCC of the proposed terms and conditions under which it will provide services to its wholesale customers, ahead of the ACCC's 17 September deadline.

The ACCC has initiated its statutory public enquiry into NBN Co's special access undertaking (SAU) with release of a preliminary consultation paper but the real consultation paper seeking the views of stakeholders will not be released until mid February.

NBN Co has lodged its special access undertaking (SAU) with the ACCC saying it commits the company to keeping prices for its key wholesale services frozen for five years and limits future increases to be less than the rate of inflation.
