Fixed PSTN Interconnection Investigation
We are considering whether the continued regulation of Fixed PSTN Interconnection is still necessary to promote competition.
PSTN Interconnection enables calls to be originated and terminated between users on different fixed networks.
In May 2026, we found there are reasonable grounds to commence an investigation into whether Fixed PSTN Interconnection should be omitted from Schedule 1 of the Telecommunications Act (2001).
We are currently consulting on our draft recommendation.
Our final recommendation is due to the Minister by 28 April 2027.
