In an interview with ABC News, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) chairman Rod Sims spoke of current and forthcoming actions that the commission is taking against internet service providers (ISPs).
Sims spoke of how the ACCC is concerned with misleading advertising related to internet speeds and a three part strategy to combat such advertising consisting of guidance, monitoring and finally court action.
Sims said in the interview, “We’ll have a few cases in court by the end of the year… but we want to bring about broader change within the industry and give better information to consumers.”
The ACCC is specifically focused on the four largest ISPs in the country; Telstra, Optus, Vocus and TPG.
