191: Limited exception to obligation to apply input methodologies

You could also call this:

"Some fibre companies don't have to follow certain cost rules."

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

You do not have to apply input methodologies for evaluating the cost of capital if you are a regulated fibre service provider who is subject only to information disclosure regulation, as stated in section 175. This exception does not affect other parts of the law. The Commission can still use input methodologies to monitor and analyse information, as stated in section 187(2), and you may still have to disclose information about the methodologies you use, as stated in section 188(2).

Part 6Fibre fixed line access services
Information disclosure regulation

191Limited exception to obligation to apply input methodologies

  1. Despite section 175, a regulated fibre service provider who is subject only to information disclosure regulation does not have to apply input methodologies for evaluating or determining the cost of capital.

  2. However, to avoid doubt, subsection (1) does not affect anything else in this subpart, and in particular does not affect—

  3. section 187(2) (which means the Commission may use the input methodologies referred to in subsection (1) to monitor and analyse information); or
    1. section 188(2) (which means that a regulated fibre service provider may still be required to disclose information about the methodologies for evaluation or determining the cost of capital that it does in fact use).
