The Australian Communications and Media Authority (the ACMA) is seeking public comment on proposed changes to customer cabling regulatory arrangements. The purpose of these proposed changes is to ensure that the current competency requirements for the registration of cabling providers are appropriate to ensure that providers are competent to perform cabling work for the current and future customer cabling environment including in relation to the installation of optical fibre and structured cabling. The aim of the changes are to also simplify the existing regulatory instruments to provide a regulatory environment that is easier to understand.A consultation paper and further information detailing the proposed changes is available on the ACMA website on the following link:
