What will be the outcome of this consultation?
The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications is seeking views on a request from Telstra for extensions to Ministerial exemptions for its South Brisbane and ‘Velocity’ fibre networks. Without these exemptions, Telstra would be required by Parts 7 and 8 of the Telecommunications Act 1997 to supply wholesale layer 2 bitstream services on a wholesale-only basis over these networks.
The exemptions were first granted in 2012, and without extension will expire on the Designated Day, which has been set at 1 July 2020. Under the Telecommunications Act 1997, the Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts can exempt networks, lines and network owners from the Parts 7 and 8 requirements. The exemptions can be conditional or unconditional.
