Commpete welcomes the general approach reflected in the Draft Decision and supports the regulatory principles articulated by the ACCC’s Draft Decision and proposed Final Access Determination for NBN Wholesale Service Standards.
Commpete believes that no monopoly wholesale infrastructure provider should continue to have unconstrained power to negotiate in full the contractual terms of its own agreements. Commpete strongly believes ACCC oversight is required.
Further, if there are conditions imposed by Government under the Consumer Safeguards Review which impacts all RSPs then this should be considered in conjunction with the ACCC FAD to provide effective minimum NBN wholesale performance standards for end consumers.
