ACMA reform to reporting requirements

Details

ACCAN has responded to the ACMA's consultation on proposals for deregulatory reform in telecommunications reporting requirements.

Our submission flagged the importance of maintaining consumer protections related to Mobile Premium Services (MPS). We also pointed to the importance of maintaining annual telecommunications reporting requirements. We were supportive of amendments to reduce the frequency of reporting requirements for the Customer Service Guarantee (CSG) and payphone performance. We called for reduced reporting requirements on the Integrated Public Number Database (IPND) Scheme to be considered alongside the broader review being conducted by the Department of Communications. Finally, we agreed with the ACMA that there was some duplication in the reporting requirements for the Emergency Call Service (ECS).
