The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) received an application for merger approval from Telstra and TPG on May 23, 2022 related to three interrelated agreements that would put in place a Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) arrangement.
But TPG and Telstra rival Optus is not happy about this tie-up. Last month, the Singaporean telco put out a press release calling on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to reconsider the deal.
The proposed agreement between Telstra and TPG is really all about reducing costs, building market share and being able to offer new and enhanced products to businesses and communities in certain regional and urban fringe areas (labelled the Regional Coverage Zone in the agreement).
This will see TPG gain access to roughly 3,700 of Telstra’s mobile network assets in regional and suburban areas, resulting in the company boosting its 4G coverage from 96% to 98.8% of the Australian population.
