Our submission makes five key points;

1. Any discussion of embedded networks must consider small businesses operating under this arrangement.
2. All residential and small business embedded networks must be recorded on the AER public register of exemptions.
3. An effective compliance and monitoring framework must be developed and implemented.
4. Future registrations need to provide clear evidence of ongoing consumer benefit and be approved or denied by the AER through an application process.
5. Consumers supplied via embedded networks must receive protections equivalent to on-market customers.
