The Australian Communications Authority (ACA) has called for submissions to its review of telecommunications policies in relation to voice over internet protocol (VoIP) services today.
Most telcos are spurred to provide help to emergency services only when it fits their economic agenda, the ACA was told.
The federal government is stepping up its scrutiny of voice over IP in an effort to ensure regulations and policy can deal with its impact on the communications landscape.
The government will "carefully consider" the impact of new and emerging technologies on Australia's privacy legislation.
The Australian Communications Authority has updated the telecommunications industry code setting a new "performance benchmark" for the interconnection of different networks, the body announced today.
In an exclusive interview, the Australian Communications Authority's retiring chairman Dr Bob Horton explains why consumer rights continue to lag. He touches on other topics including regulating mobile adult content.
