The impact on Telstra of a final price of $3.20 is unclear. iiNet claims to be the largest user of the LSS with some 115,000 customers, so there number is not large. Other ISPs with their own DSLAMs in general use the unconditioned local loop service which gives them full access to the copper pair for around $17 per month currently. In this situation the customer needs a second line for their PSTN service or the ISP can apply line sharing technology to its ULL and deliver a phone service, if it has its own telephone switches. However Dalby said that a general application of the $3.20 price to the LSS could change the business case for ULL v LSS dramatically. The ACCC's decision is the result of an arbitration by the ACC following iiNet lodging an access dispute against Telstra with the ACCC. Unlike ACCC pricing decisions on access undertakings, are arbitration decisions are generally confidential to the parties. |
