OptiComm is an Australian Telecommunications carrier who primarily focuses on delivering FTTP solutions in broadacre greenfield estates, MDUs, Shopping Centres and Retirement Villages using the "open access, wholesale-only" business model created by Stephen Davies (now the CTO at OptiComm) – the same model that was adopted by the Australian Government for the National Broadband Network. The company was at one stage - prior to the formation of NBNco - the largest builder and operator of Fibre to the Premises networks in Australia. It remains the largest private enterprise builder/operator in Australia.
History[edit]
The company was formed in 2005 by Paul Cross and Phil Smith
In 2007, Hills Holdings purchased 50% of Opticomm.[1]
The first estate delivered in 2007 by the company was Fernbrooke in Queensland. Since then some 100 estates have been added to their contract list which represents some 250,000 homes to be built over the 15 years.
In February 2009 Opticomm launched the first 100Mbit/s residential access service in Australia.[2]
In Dec 2009 Opticomm was awarded a contract by NBN Co to operate on behalf of the NBN the stage 1 release of the National Broadband Network in Australia.[3]
In June 2010 as operator of the stage 1 NBN Tasmania network (on behalf of NBNco), Opticomm connects to the first three customers to the National Broadband Network.[4]
In April 2014 Private Equity bought out Hills Holdings.
