[AusNOG] NBNCo cherry-picker clauses

[Stephen Carter (FirstPath)]

Hi James,

I think you will struggle to get a public opinion on the compliance of a third party company from anyone other than one of the regulators or relevant authorities, its complex legislation that is not limited to just the Telco Act and one should also consider the Competition and Consumer Act 2010; CLC Declaration of 14 Dec 2014 and others.

I know some Telco’s are compliant, I guarantee it...

Happy Easter all!

Yes I tried speaking to them (which is what AAPT said to do). But all they could tell me was to read the telecommunications act, and get advice from my lawyer.

I'm not exactly keen on reading 800 pages of legislation, and don't exactly want to drop $1k or $2k in lawyers fees to get an answer to a simple question.

Anyone else?

Surely someone else in this group has come across this question? Or is everyone just burying their head in the sand over the issue?

James

I'd suggest going to the government department responsible for monitoring/enforcing it. That would be the most authoritative source. My guess is these people, and if they aren't, they should know who to go to:

Hello fellow Ausnog members;

I'm looking at providing a Fibre internet service to a customer, and they will probably go with a 400/400Mbps Fibre internet product, with unlimited data, the new Fibre400 one via AAPT Wholesale.

My only concern is the NBN AntiCherry picking rules, which I don't know too much about. Do these laws prevent me from being to sell one of these products to the end user?

Trying to find some info about it, but can't get a definitive answer, and AAPT have been less than helpful here.

Can anyone shed some light here?

James
