Description 38 pages : illustrations ; 30 cm Series Special report / Australian Communications Authority ; no. 5 Special report (Australian Communications Authority) ; no. 5 Summary The former Australian Communications Authority (ACA) released its report examining Telstra's compliance with its obligation to ensure that payphones are reasonably accessible to all people in Australia. The former ACA's overall conclusion is that there were grounds for concern with the payphone service provided during the period discussed in the report. Areas of concern include the number of trouble reports per payphone per month, and the percentage of public payphone faults cleared within one and two working days. However, Telstra reported improvements for the September and December 1999 quarters. The report also identifies additional work to be undertaken by the former ACA. That work includes: working with Telstra to discuss ways in which payphone performance can continue to be improved; approaching consumer bodies to discuss areas of concern, including payphone user satisfaction; and commissioning a follow up study during 2000 to explore payphone performance in more detail Analysis Complaints Evaluation Federal issue Payphones Statistics Surveys Telephones Telstra Corporation Universal service obligations Notes "March 2000"--Cover Cover title This report can be accessed through the ACA's website Available electronically via Internet Subject Pay-per-call telephone services -- Australia.
