Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

When you read this part of the law, some words have special meanings. A "change in circumstances" refers to any change that has happened since the last time the price of a service was worked out. This can include things like changes to the terms of the service.

You also need to know what "regulated terms" means. Regulated terms are the rules set by regulators in New Zealand or other countries for telecommunications services. These regulators can be from New Zealand or from overseas.
