You could also call this:

"The Commission's Decisions on Fibre Service Providers"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

The Commission makes decisions about fibre service providers. You need to know these decisions cover information disclosure and price-quality regulation. The Commission sets out requirements and time frames for providers. The Commission's decisions can be about different things and can start at different times. You might have to follow rules from other decisions as well. A decision is secondary legislation, which has its own publication rules, see Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. The Commission tells providers about new decisions and where to find them. This helps providers know what they have to do.
