On 23 June 2015, the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) approved a deal for Telstra to lease its telecommunications infrastructure to NBN. The ACCC is yet to rule on a deal for NBN to buy the hybrid-fibre coaxial network of Singtel Optus for $A800m. This deal would significantly speed-up the roll-out of the national broadband network. The ACCC expects to issue a draft ruling on the Optus deal in July.
