NBN

NBN Co does not provide products and services directly to retail consumers. Retail consumers access the NBN by purchasing products and services from access-seekers (retail service providers and wholesale service providers) who have contracts with NBN Co. After consultation with the telecommunications industry, NBN Co developed NBN Access Service ag... reements for access-seekers. The NBN Co SAU provides commitments about the NBN Access Service for the life of the 27-year business case set out in the NBN Co Corporate Plan. The NBN Access Service provides uniform national wholesale prices and covers all wholesale Layer 2 services provided over NBN Co's fibre, wireless and satellite networks. What this means is the NBN Co SAU, when accepted by the ACCC, provides information on key aspects of NBN Co contracts with access seekers. Because the SAU is publicly available, access seekers are able to make a judgement as to whether their contract with NBN Co is in accordance with the prices and conditions outlined in the SAU. For retail consumers, the SAU provides a guide as to the costs being paid by their internet service providers to NBN Co for retail consumer connections to the NBN, how these costs will rise each year and what the terms and conditions are.Read More
