Review of UBA Data Costs

Subscribe to Review of UBA Data Costs

On 19 February 2010, the Commission commenced a review of the data transmission cost under section 30R of the Act. The data transmission cost is a component taken into account in determining the price of UBA.

In determining the price for the UBA service in the UBA STD, the Commission imputed the retail price of the bitstream service and removed a benchmarked discount in accordance with the applicable initial pricing principle under Part 2 of Schedule 1 of the Act. This includes a range of steps, including removing the national and international data transmission costs from the retail price of Telecom's bitstream service.

The data transmission review was combined with the wider  s30R Review of UBA pricing  commenced on 3 March 2011.   A final decision for the combined reviews was released on 28 July 2011.
