“Unless steps are taken to ensure appropriate wholesale access to mobile infrastructure is available, Australians will be deprived of the full benefit of technological advances in this space.” In other markets, such as fixed line and energy, this would never be allowed without mandating the right of access to compete to other industry participants, and in turn providing consumers with the right to choose. “This process brought out 11,000 pages in public submissions showing a clear monopoly position in certain regional areas. Given the continuing development of mobile technology and the increasing part it plays in all aspects of business and life, it is simply unacceptable that the owners of mobile infrastructure are completely immunised from competition.” “This light touch approach to regulating mobile networks is perplexing. No other form of access to dominant networks has been mandated, and there is currently no incentive for mobile network operators to provide roaming or mandate wholesale access,” she said. “So far, the ACCC has only declared mobile termination, which prevents a dominant operator from refusing to terminate a call from another operator. Lim suggested the next regulatory step should be the declaration of mobile access under Part XIC of the Competition and Consumer Act (CCA) allowing the provision of fair and non-discriminatory terms to level the playing field for a wider range of industry players. “Commpete believes this would make it much easier for regulatory bodies to uphold decisions made in the interests of competition and fairness.” “While mergers are ‘likely’ to lessen competition are prohibited, we need to better define ‘likely’ in the legislation, making it clear the substantial lessening of competition includes ‘entrenching, materially increasing or materially extending a position of substantial market power’. “More recently, current ACCC chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb called for changes to merger laws to protect competition.” “Just over a year ago, former ACCC Chairman Rod Sims proposed major reforms in Australia’s merger review regime, saying it was no longer fit for purpose, and ‘skewed towards clearance,’” she said. Lim said the court appeal highlights the importance of embedding future market structure, and brings into focus improvements needed in the merger review process. Commpete commends this decision by The Tribunal.” Likewise, smaller providers, many of whom have been championing greater competition, should be entitled to a fair go. “Now, more than ever, Australians deserve the benefits of choice and a competitive mobile sector. Glitches which only apply to specific items, such as rails or gravity blocks are allowed.“This deal would have handed a dominant provider control over mobile pricing, service availability and service standards in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis,” she said.
