Telecommunications Act 2001

Structural separation of Telecom - Undertakings by Chorus

69X: Overview

You could also call this:

"Rules for Chorus to supply services fairly to other companies"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

This part of the law tells you about rules for a company called Chorus. You will see that Chorus has to follow some rules when it supplies services to other companies. Chorus must supply these services in a fair way, so it does not treat any company differently. Chorus also has to supply some services to its competitors in the same way it uses them itself. This helps you understand what this part of the law is about, but it is not the exact law, just a guide to help you.
