68: Network operators must notify Registrar of key changes

You could also call this:

"Tell the Registrar about big changes to your network"

Illustration for Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act 2013

You are a network operator. You must tell the Registrar about important changes. You have 20 working days to tell them before the change happens. If you cannot do this, you must tell them as soon as you can. You must also tell the Registrar about big changes. You have 10 working days to do this after you find out about the change. A big change is one that affects what you must do about intercepting communications. A relevant change is when something important changes. This can be your name, the person who deals with surveillance agencies, or the area you cover. It can also be about the services you provide or who you work with. You must tell the Registrar about these changes so they know what is happening.
