30N: Commission's discretion to determine how standard terms determination is to be prepared

You could also call this:

"The Commission can choose how to create rules for services, all in one document or separate ones."

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

The Commission can decide how to prepare a standard terms determination if they think it is appropriate. They can prepare one document that covers two or more services, with general terms that apply to all of them and a separate schedule for each service with specific terms. They can also prepare a separate document for each service. The Commission can also add a new schedule to an existing document, instead of creating a whole new one, to include specific terms for a particular service, as stated in section 30M(a).

30NCommission's discretion to determine how standard terms determination is to be prepared

  1. The Commission may, if it considers it appropriate in the circumstances, comply with section 30M(a) by preparing—

  2. a standard terms determination relating to 2 or more designated access services or specified services that contains—
    1. terms of general application to all the services to which the standard terms determination relates; and
      1. a separate schedule for each of those services that includes terms of specific application to that service; or
      2. a separate standard terms determination for each designated access service or specified service.

        1.
