ACCAN believes access to communications is fundamental to the economic and social wellbeing of consumers. The ACCC sets access prices for fixed line infrastructure that is used to provide phone and internet services to consumers. This submission to the ACCC provides feedback on consumer concerns about the pricing structure.
Communications pricing is a major factor in determining a consumer’s level of participation in society and the economy. This submission focusses on communications affordability issues faced by Australians. It is hoped that this will guide the decision on a pricing model towards an option which best promotes the legislative objective of available, accessible and affordable communications services that enhance the welfare of Australians.
