As a wholesale-only network the NBN will give retail service provider (RSPs) an equivalent opportunity to serve Australia’s digital access needs.
The new network will lead to innovation and choice in the market. This will benefit the end-user by giving them the power to choose the service, and service provider, that best suits their needs.
The quality of the service we provide customers and end users depends on a level playing field with equal access to retailers. This has guided the development of the product we will be offering to retailers.
The National Broadband Network will:
- support differentiation and innovation by RSPs – by providing them with an experience as close as possible to owning their own network
- support healthy retail competition by ensuring the product set does not favour a small number (or one) player
- promote maximum end-user choice in terms of both services and providers
- allow secure, simultaneous delivery of multiple applications, potentially by multiple RSPs, with predictable levels of quality
Building broadband for all Australians
