ACMAs New Coverage Map Rules: A Game Changer for Aussie Telcos

Australias communications watchdog, ACMA, has introduced new rules for mobile coverage maps, requiring telcos like Telstra, Optus, and TPG to publish clear 4G and 5G maps by June 30th. The maps will label areas as good, moderate, basic, or no coverage, with anything below -15 dBm signal strength considered nothing. Telstra, with the largest network, is pushing back, arguing that these maps will make it harder to spot usable coverage in regional areas, where 1.5 million customers rely on weaker signals. The new rules aim to provide accurate coverage information, ending years of confusion and misleading claims by telcos.
