ACCAN has responded to NBN’s discussion paper on SAU Variation: Proposed changes. The Special Access Undertaking (SAU) determines how much NBN can charge for wholesale phone and internet services and provides the framework for non-price issues.
ACCAN is supportive of NBN’s decision to withdraw the March Variation and submit a new SAU variation. ACCAN supports the direction of the proposed changes put forward in the discussion paper, including a transition away from CVC charges on all services by 2026, the introduction of a Weighted Average Price Cap and adjustment of the Initial Cost Recovery Account. However ACCAN expressed concern with proposals including the price level for slower speed tiers (those of 50 Mbps and slower), service standards and benchmarks including issues regarding planned outages and dropouts and how best to address affordability concerns for low income households.
