TPG Telecom wants Murray River region residents and businesses to have their voices heard and help bring better mobile competition and choice to regional Australia.
The ACCC is currently seeking submissions from the public on how the proposed TPG Telecom-Telstra regional network sharing arrangement will benefit mobile service, choice and competition in regional Australia.
TPG says that while the proposed network sharing deal has the potential to change the competitive landscape in regional Australia for the better, there is a risk it might not eventuate.
“Now is the time to write to your local member or the ACCC directly and let them know your views. We believe the proposed arrangement will be a significant win for the Murray River region, with far-reaching benefits for all rural and regional Australia,” said James Rickards of TPG Telecom.
“We are calling on rural and regional Australia to have their voices heard and help address the increasing need for greater competition and choice of mobile services throughout the country.”
Final public submissions to the ACCC are due by October 14.
Murray River Group of Councils including Loddon Shire, Bendigo Business Council (Be.Bendigo), Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Australian Trucking Association (ATA) have expressed strong support for the proposed regional network sharing deal, said TPG
