From events to consultations, it’s been as busy as ever for our Policy Team!
You may have noticed IAA being highlighted in CommsDay for taking a stance on important regulatory issues. Whether it be for our CEO setting the record straight on the TCP Code at a major industry event, or our response to the one of our many consultations such as the Senate Committee’s inquiry into the privacy reform, we’re dedicated to representing our Members and to improving the telecommunications regulatory landscape.
As we’ve reported in previous newsletters, the co-regulation approach for telecommunications policy is coming under attack and as Narelle noted in her presentation at the CommsDay Wholesale Forum, there seems to be some ‘arguably disinformation’ floating around on what co-regulatory codes like the TCP Code actually mean. Rest assured, we’ll continue to advocate for the continuation of co-regulation for the telco sector to ensure that regulation affecting the industry is developed by those who actually operate and understand telco systems!
Our Policy Officer and Board Chair also gave a lightning talk at AusNOG to give an update on recent and upcoming regulatory changes, as well as to spread awareness about IAA’s important advocacy work, and how to get involved via the IAA Public Policy Advisory Panel (PPAP).
Speaking of which, the PPAP met for its quarterly meeting on 22 August. Discussions centred around the TIO and its recent changes to its reclassifications approach, which we reported in the last August newsletter. We are now accepting applications to the PPAP.
