The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has issued a consultation paper son the draft section of 151DB points of interconnection (POI) to the National Broadband Network (NBN).

 

"The points of interconnection are important for ensuring that retail service providers can connect to the National Broadband Network to provide services to their customers," ACCC chairman Rod Sims said.

 

"This is the first time the section 151DB list of points of interconnection has been made, so the ACCC considers that it is appropriate to seek stakeholder comments on the list," Mr Sims said.

 

In the consultation paper, the ACCC proposes to set out the general locations of each point of interconnection, while outing minor changes made to the list since the last consultation in May 2011.

 

Interested parties are invited to make written submissions on the form of the list by 5pm on 31 August 2012. Subject to stakeholder submissions, the ACCC intends to publish the final list of points of interconnection in September 2012.
