30F: Call for standard terms proposal

You could also call this:

"The government asks internet providers to suggest standard rules for their services."

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

The Commission gives public notice and holds a workshop, then they must tell access providers to send a standard terms proposal. You can find out more about what this proposal should include by looking at section 30G. The Commission tells the access providers when they need to send the proposal.

The Commission can add extra requirements to the notice they send to access providers. They think about things like commercial agreements or regulated terms for services in New Zealand or overseas when deciding what to include.

If an access provider gets a notice from the Commission, they have to do what the notice says. The notice includes a copy of section 30G and any extra requirements the Commission adds.
