Australian incumbent Telstra will shortly submit a new plan to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to take part in the country’s national broadband network (NBN) plan, a Telstra spokesperson told TelecomFinance.
Last year, Telstra signed an A$11bn (US$11.2bn) agreement to join the NBN programme, which requires the company to separate itself.
Telstra subsequently presented its structural separation undertaking, which would see NBN Co, the government company created to implement the NBN project, taking over Telstra’s customer services on its copper and television networks.
But in late August 2011, the ACCC asked Telstra to revise its plan because it was concerned about the adequacy of the incumbent’s “proposed interim equivalence and transparency measures”.
