Inquiry into the shutdown of the 3G mobile network and telecommunications services accessibility

ACCAN recently submitted to the inquiry into the shutdown of the 3G mobile network and telecommunications services accessibility.

In the submission, we suggested the Senate Standing Committees on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport:

Develop ongoing support mechanisms for consumers and small businesses post-3G shutdown, including financial grants and a coordinated communications campaign.
Investigate how future technological transitions can learn from the 3G mobile network shutdown to ensure consumers are provided with adequate and appropriate information.
Explore how mobile networks can be incorporated into Australia’s universal service obligation.
