The ACCC requires nbn to report quarterly on the number of services operating on its network. The data provides transparency about the types of service sold by nbn (for example, by technology and speed level) and which telecommunications providers are buying what. The ACCC releases some of the data collected to the public. (to understand why this data is so useful see our blog). The ACCC recently consulted about the usefulness of this reporting and if it should continue.
ACCAN strongly supports the continuation of nbn reporting and considers that more detailed information should be released. We regularly refer to information from the Wholesale Market Indicator Report in internal notes, environment scans and public submissions. Greater information would allow for more transparency about the nbn network.
