Whatever comes out of the ACCC’s digital platforms inquiry final report next month, new communications minister Paul Fletcher will have a big say in what goes forward.

The former Optus exec says the NBN and online safety will be key priorities. Industry sectors are clearing their throats ahead of the next round of lobbying.

The TV industry was quick off the mark. 

Free TV CEO, Bridget Fair, said it was "hard to imagine anyone better suited to take on the challenges in the broadcasting and telecommunications sectors ... Free TV looks forward to working closely with [Fletcher] in the years ahead on the important issues facing the broadcasting industry."

Ten described Fletcher as "smart" and "pragmatic". The network stated "Paul is definitely the right person to be dealing with the big and complex issues that need to be sorted in this area."

As the other TV networks made similar noises, the radio sector skipped the praise and got down to business.

"We will be looking to meet soon with Minister Fletcher to discuss a broad range of policy issues impacting on commercial radio including the regulatory inequalities that exist between commercial radio and the digital platforms," said Commercial Radio Australia chief exec Joan Warner.

As did the Australian Directors Guild. 

"We see the regulating of the streaming services like Netflix as the priority for the industry. We have had several reviews but no action on this and it is critical for the future of our industry that the government have a clear and supportive policy for the screen industry," said CEO Kingston Anderson.

Telstra opted to remain tight lipped on the NBN, suggesting it just wants Fletcher to get on with the 5G auction. 

Facebook said it looked forward to some "clear rules" it could work to, as Fletcher mulls which of the many recommendations of the ACCC's interim report recommendations to take forward.
