100B: Commission must include information about deemed TSO instrument in TSO cost calculation determinations

You could also call this:

"The Commission must share details about telecom services' costs and areas they cover."

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

The Commission has to include certain information when making decisions about the cost of some telecommunications services. You need to know what information they have to include. They have to say what areas the services cover and how many people use the services in each area. They also have to work out the cost of providing the services in each area and include any other information that helps explain their decisions, which can be found in sections like section 94F and section 94J.

The Commission has to make sure the areas they talk about are the same as the ones they use when working out if it is viable to provide the services to end-users. They have to give details about the number of subscriber lines and the cost of providing the services. This information helps the Commission make decisions about the cost of telecommunications services.
