INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIVITY FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The Department of Environment, Climate and Communications is
consulting until 19 July 2024 on International Connectivity for
Telecommunications. It is aimed mainly at telecommunications
service providers and large volume users of international links
(including content providers and data centre owners). The intent is
to use the evidence gathered to establish the existence of market
failure and to determine the most appropriate and expedient way to
address it. Questions focus on demand, capacity/supply, levies,
planning/licensing, consistent approach to applications,
telecommunications fibre on energy interconnectors, commercial
viability, planned investment, investment uncertainty, and role of
the State.
