NBN staff cuts won’t affect SAU pricing

This report analyzes NBN Co's announcement to reduce its headcount by approximately 10%, or 500 roles, primarily targeting general management. Despite pressure from Retail Service Providers (RSPs) for lower wholesale pricing following these cost reductions, the brief argues that such concessions are unlikely. NBN Co is instead prioritizing network upgrades to compete with alternative fibre and LEO satellite providers, while managing an accumulated loss overhang of $30 billion.
