Telstra’s ULLS, LSS, WLR, LCS, FOAS, and FTAS fixed-line services will continue being regulated for the next five years to ensure certainty during the end of the NBN rollout.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has announced its decision to continue regulating six Telstra fixed-line copper services from mid-2019 while the National Broadband Network (NBN) deployment is being completed.
Specifically, the ACCC has declared until June 30,2024, Telstra’s unconditioned local loop service (ULLS), line sharing service (LSS), wholesale line rental (WLR), local carriage service (LCS), fixed originating access service (FOAS, formerly PSTN OA), and fixed terminating access service (FTAS, formerly PSTN TA) under s152AL of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 .
«The NBN rollout is progressing, but the fixed-line network remains relevant to millions of consumers before they migrate to the NBN, and in NBN fixed-wireless and satellite areas where legacy network services will remain available,» ACCC Chair Rod Sims said on Monday.
