The Policy: Competition Reforms• NBN Cos can only sell to carriers/carriage service providers
(exceptions)• NBN Co Access Agreements with service providers must be public
and other providers must have access on same terms (in similar circumstances
• No discrimination between access seekers (almost)• The Regulator can make binding access determinations• Non NBN Companies cannot, after 1 January 2011, install
broadband networks where there is no competitive network, unless they provide services on an open access wholesale only basis
