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

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
