This Ministerial policy statement is made within the context of the Government's broader communications policy agenda, which includes, but is not limited to, Telecommunications Universal Service Obligation Reform, initiatives to improve digital connectivity for First Nations Australians and communities, the 2024 Regional Telecommunications Review, and activities to support the resilience of communications networks and temporary disaster responses.
Given the complex policy environment in which the expiring spectrum licences operate and the rapid pace of technological developments, I may choose to provide additional or more targeted guidance to the ACMA in the future in relation to these licences or others that are due to expire between 2028 and 2032. Additional or more targeted guidance could be in response to policy change or technological developments, or additional information that arises through the expiring spectrum licenses process. Any additional or more targeted guidance may be in the form of additional Ministerial policy statements or the use of my other powers to direct the ACMA.
