Consultation on increasing carrier separation class exemption customer limit for superfast broadband network providers

Part 8 of the Telecommunications Act 1997 (the Act) requires network operators to structurally or functionally separate retail and wholesale business arms. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has granted a class exemption from these requirements for providers with under 2,000 customers, which can be increased to 12,000 through regulation. We are seeking views on whether such a regulation should be made.
