Notice extending inquiry period

On 11 December 2013, the ACCC decided to extend the period for making final access determinations for the six currently declared fixed line services and wholesale ADSL service until 11 July 2014.

The ACCC was  unable to complete its inquiry within the original inquiry period as it considered that industry consultation on pricing issues for the inquiry would be promoted by the receipt of relevant pricing data for the services from Telstra prior to releasing a discussion paper for industry consultation. This data was received from Telstra on 25 November 2013. The ACCC further considered it appropriate to complete the related declaration inquiry prior to undertaking extensive industry consultation on the issues for the final access determination inquiry.

Depending on submissions received and the issues raised during the course of this inquiry, the ACCC may need to extend the inquiry for a further period in the future.
