Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

The Commission has to do some things within 60 working days after people have made submissions on a standard terms proposal. You need to know they have to decide the terms of a service, prepare a draft of these terms, and give a copy to all parties involved. They also have to tell the public about the draft and include the deadline for people to make submissions.

When the Commission is making a draft standard terms determination for a specific service, they have to include the price of the service if it has been determined according to certain principles in a determination made under section 51 or section 27. If the price has not been determined, the Commission will decide the price according to certain principles.

The Commission's decision on the price will depend on the circumstances, and they might use an existing price if it is lower than the new price. You can find more information about how the Commission makes these decisions by looking at the relevant sections of the Act.
