You could also call this:

"How the Commission decides the rules for telecommunications services"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

When the Commission starts working on an input methodology, it tells the public what it plans to do. You get to know what process they will follow and how long it will take. The Commission shares its draft methodology with the public. The Commission asks for your views on the draft methodology and gives you a fair chance to respond. It may also hold meetings to discuss the methodology. The Commission considers your views when making its decision. If the Commission did some work on input methodologies before this law started, it can use that work to help it comply with the law. You can find more information about this law by looking at the Telecommunications Act.
