Our alliance advocates strongly for real competition – to legislators, regulators and the Australian public. In this section you will find submissions and reports developed by Commpete.
Submissions
Today, Commpete remains firmly supportive of nbn Co’s role in delivering a pro-competitive industry structure, nbn Co’s obligations to deliver services on a non-discriminatory basis and nbn Co’s role of providing better access to a broader customer base for our members as we continue to innovate in the next era of digital communications.
Commpete supports the ACCC’s intention to determine the MTAS price for the forthcoming period based on international benchmarking. We also broadly support the approach adopted by Analysys Mason (Analysys) given the methodological constraints imposed by the ACCC’s earlier decisions (e.g. to use only publicly available models capable of producing a LRIC+ result).
Reports
Commpete represents challenger providers who are retailers and wholesalers of digital communication.

1. Introduction
1.1 Commpete’s members welcome the opportunity to make submissions on nbn Co’s WBA4 proposals as they relate to pricing and wholesale service standards. We remain committed to working with the ACCC and with nbn Co and intermediaries to ensure that:
1.1.1 nbn’s wholesale service offerings can support the customer experience outcomes that Commpete’s members aspire to deliver and need to deliver in order to attract and retain customers; and
1.1.2 that regulation is imposed where required to promote the long term interests of consumers where there is evidence that nbn Co is not otherwise incentivised to act consistently with those long term interests and where nbn Co’s conduct will otherwise remain unconstrained because of nbn’s status as a monopoly wholesale infrastructure provider.
