[AusNOG] ACCC and Spectrum - re NBN

[Murray Southwell]

Hi Skeeve, It is definitely a pain moving forward, that there is no more spectrum available in the 3.4Ghz band around Hobart.

NBN however did not buy up all the spectrum, they just bought the last of it, after other carriers had purchased allocations.

Convincing the ACCC that buying the last allocation(s), constitutes anti-competitive behaviour might be a bit of a hard sell.

Subject: [AusNOG] ACCC and Spectrum - re NBN

Hi all,

After some things that have happened recently, I've realised that in December, NBN bought (what looks to be like) all of the remaining licensed spectrum in the Fixed 3.4Ghz range in Hobart..

There is only 2 ranges for multi-point. 3.4Ghz in licensed and 5Ghz in unlicensed.

I'm wondering if NBN taking ALL the remaining 3.4Ghz is a good thing and something that should be referred to the ACCC.

I don't a lot about 3.4Ghz or Spectrum... so any insights would be helpful.

Thanks Ausnog Braintrust!
