TPG Telecom fibre optic plan not threatened by ACCC | Fool Australia

TPG Telecom fibre optic plan not threatened by ACCC | Fool Australia: "As I reported in this article, TPG Telecom (ASX: TPM) has announced plans to start rolling out fibre to the basement (FTTB). The brilliance of this plan is that now that the NBN is not going to be fibre to the premises, there is no reason that customers would ever bother switching to the NBN.

TPG has some major competitors that could also roll out optical fibre to buildings. Telstra (ASX: TLS), Singapore Telecommunications’ (ASX: SGT) Optus and iiNet (ASX: IIN) all own fibre infrastructure. However, once a building is connected to fibre, there is little reason why another company would duplicate the connection. That’s why some commentators suggested the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) might have an issue with the plan."
