Singtel's Optus, TPG Telecom secure approval for network-sharing deal

The agreement has an initial term of 11 years. 

Optus, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singtel, received approval from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) for its proposed regional network and spectrum-sharing agreements with TPG Telecom.

Under the Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) agreement, Optus will grant TPG Telecom access to its regional radio access network, with both companies sharing spectrum in regional Australia.

The non-exclusive agreement has an initial term of 11 years. 
 
TPG Telecom has the option to extend the agreement for another five years.

Provided that the remaining regulatory approvals are obtained, TPG and Optus customers can expect access to the MOCN by early 2025.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
