Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

The Minister can approve changes to an undertaking if it needs to match this Act. You can think of an undertaking like a promise to do something, and the Minister wants to make sure it follows the rules. The Minister can also approve combining two or more undertakings into one.

When the Minister approves a change or combines undertakings, some rules apply, like those in Sections 156AI to 156AK. These rules help make sure the change or combination is done fairly and correctly. You can follow the link to Sections 156AI to 156AK to learn more about these rules.
