Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

The Commission wants to check if fibre fixed line access service providers are doing what they are supposed to do. You need to know that the Commission can ask for information to help them do this. The Commission can ask a provider to give them certain information if the provider offers other services that are not regulated in the same way. The provider may have to give the Commission financial statements and other information about all their businesses. They may also have to give information about the other services they provide, and how this information relates to their fibre fixed line access services. You can find more information about what the provider has to give the Commission in section 188 and Part 4 of the Commerce Act 1986. If a provider supplies goods or services that are regulated under Part 4 of the Commerce Act 1986, the Commission can ask them to provide information about these goods or services and their fibre fixed line access services. This information can help the Commission check if the provider is doing what they are supposed to do. The Commission can use this information to make sure the provider is following the rules.
