Australia rejects telecom consumer code due to weak protections, citing risks to vulnerable users and industry failures.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority has rejected a proposed telecom consumer protection code, citing weak safeguards for vulnerable customers, particularly in credit assessments and mobile coverage.
The industry's draft, developed over 18 months, was criticized for favoring business interests and containing enforcement loopholes.
The decision follows major outages, including a fatal Optus update that disrupted emergency calls and a $100 million fine for selling unaffordable phones to vulnerable consumers.
The telco industry has 30 days to respond before ACMA may impose its own mandatory standard.
