Drops the “Co” and “Bitstream Service” from product name, but retains pricing structure
NBN Co, the company responsible for building and operating the National Broadband Network, released the third version of its Wholesale Broadband Agreement (WBA3) last Friday.
In the new agreement, the company renamed its main product previously known as “NBN Co Ethernet Bitstream Service” (NEBS) to simply “nbn™ Ethernet”.
The new agreement also combines several documents including the product description, technical specifications, price list and fair use policy into a single document now known as the “WBA nbn™ Ethernet Product Module”.
In a separate media release published on the NBN Co website, the company also revealed it plans to trial a new appointments system. The new system will allow end users to reschedule appointments with installers directly, rather than having to contact through their service provider.
Pricing structure remains unchanged for now
Despite having recently consulted with its retail partners to make changes to current two-component pricing structure, the company did not include a new pricing structure in this version of WBA3.
The company has indicated it will reveal its intentions for the new pricing structure by the end of the year.
