18 Jun 2008	Structural separation and investment in the National Broadband Network environment Dr Chris Doyle is from Warwick University in the UK and is an international expert on structural separation of telecommunication. In this report, Dr Doyle explains that "structural separation" means that Telstra’s network would be owned separately from its other business divisions such as retail. The key advantage "is that it removes the incentives for the owner of the network to behave in a discriminatory manner." It also "greatly reduces the job of regulating." Dr Doyle explains that there are a range of ‘separation’ models, from the weakest form, accounting separation, to the strongest form, structural separation.

26 May 2008	Structural Separation for a National Broadband Network Optus asked CEG-Asia Pacific to provide a high-level report on the economic costs and benefits of structural separation in the specific context of the deployment of a national broadband network (NBN). In particular CEG was asked to consider the economic consequences of a model of separation in which the owner of the NBN, including the local loops, digital subscriber line (DSL) and backhaul equipment is separated from other network and retail activities. An important context to this report is the recent Request for Proposals for the deployment of a high-speed broadband network issued by the Federal Government.
