Comverge welcomes the release of the Telecommunications Infrastructure in New Developments Policy. The revised Telecommunications Infrastructure in New Developments Policy has been released. The policy is intended to guide service providers, infrastructure providers and property developers on how telecommunications will be delivered in new developments. The policy introduces charging by NBN to build infrastructure in new developments. This key point will be phased in to help the telecommunications industry adapt to the change. The changes will provide greater certainty, fairness, innovation, efficiency and choice. See full details of the policy.
