Proposal to update telco customer equipment regulation

The ACMA is consulting on proposed amendments to the instruments regulating telco customer equipment. The changes proposed relate to:

  • extending the record-keeping timeframe for standards compliance under the TLN
  • limiting the ‘grandfathering’ arrangements for mobile phones, and, subject to a transition period, mandate compliance with the latest technical standard for emergency call access
  • adopting a revised industry standard for the safety of customer equipment, with changes to recognise compliance with overlapping requirements in aviation or electrical safety standards frameworks. 

The proposed changes have been triggered by concerns surrounding the ability of devices to enable connection to Triple Zero. 

You can read further on the proposed changes, and/or make a submission via the ACMA’s website.

Consultation closes: Thursday, 17 September 2026

IAA welcomes any insights about how the proposed changes would affect our Members. Please let us know via the form below to better inform our submission:

NBN Co Cost Allocation Manual

The ACCC is consulting on NBN Co’s proposed updates to its approved cost allocation manual (CAM) and accounting procedures (AP). The CAM and AP are used to allocate costs and revenue to shape the regulated cost base of products. 

NBN Co proposes to allocate leased dark fibre costs as Core Regulated Services or Competitive Services where the costs are directly attributable to Enterprise Ethernet services or FTTP services in new developments. It proposes to change the AP for consistency with the CAM in relation to leased dark fibre costs.
