"Checking if telecom companies follow the rules they must obey"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

The Commission must check if a TSO provider is following its TSO instrument rules within 60 working days after the end of each financial year. You do this by looking at what the TSO instrument says about how to check compliance. The Commission must then tell the TSO provider and the Minister in writing if the provider is not following the rules.
