ACMA confirms 2009/10 Do Not Call washing fees
ACMA has announced that excess usage fees for list washing will be abandoned from 1 July 2009. Instead a so-called ‘annual subscription’ will in fact be a block prepurchase of washing credits that will normally expire if not used within 12 months.
If a telemarketer’s remaining ’annual’ subscription credits aren’t sufficient to pay for washing a submitted list in less than 12 months, they will have to buy a new ‘annual’ subscription before that list can be washed. In that case, any unused credits from the first subscription will be rolled over into the second one.
ACMA has made the change because 90% of list washing ‘access seekers’ are already estimating their requirements pretty accurately. If they keep doing that, the new block prepayments will usually cover a year’s use. If not, access seekers may find their annual subscriptions aren’t actually annual. Wonder what ACCC would make of a CSP that advertised an ‘annual’ fee that may or may not cover a year
