98: Certain matters not to prevent making of order under section 96

You could also call this:

"The court can still make a decision even if services help others, not just the government."

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

The court can make an order under section 96 even if the TSO provider gets a benefit from someone other than the government. You can think of a TSO provider as a company that provides important services to people. The court can still make this order.

The court can also make an order under section 96 if services are provided to people other than the government. This means the services can be for anyone, not just the government. The court's decision is not affected by who gets the services.
