Dear Australian Competition and Consumer Commission,

This is an application for all documents relating to investigations undertaken by the ACCC into the transmission costs charged by Australian ISPs, and the availability of peering within our telecommunications sector.

I would also like reports about how our transmission costs compare to those charged overseas and any justification provided by the ISPs about why a discrepancy would exist between the servicing costs paid nationally, and those charged by international ISPs within their countries.

The motivation for this request pertains to information released publicly by an content distribution network around peering charges that suggests that certain Australian ISPs may be abusing their market power, and charging excessive rates.

Yours faithfully,
