Illustration for Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act 2013

You are a network operator who needs to help another operator. If you have to help because they did not follow the rules, you can charge them. You can charge for things like access, space, and power. You might get a notice saying you can charge the other operator. This notice can be sent by a designated officer. In this case, a wholesaler is a network operator who provides services to others.
