Australia may shrink Telstra’s coverage map by 1M sq km if new rules require working calls, not just signal, for coverage claims.
A proposed Australian Communications and Media Authority standard could shrink Telstra’s mobile coverage map by about 1 million square kilometres by requiring reliable call performance, not just signal presence, for coverage claims.
TPG Telecom, Optus, and consumer advocates support the change, citing tests showing call failures in areas marked as covered.
Telstra opposes the rule, arguing it would misrepresent usable coverage in regional areas and discourage investment, despite spending $12.4 billion on its network.
The ACMA is reviewing submissions ahead of a June 30 decision, while the ACCC investigates Telstra’s claims separately.
