Telecommunications Act: Investigation of extension of regulated services
The Commission has today released its preliminary view on whether to investigate extension of the period of regulation
of the thirteen services originally incorporated within the Telecommunications Act and is seeking comment from
interested parties.
At this stage, the Commission considers that there are reasonable grounds to investigate ten of the thirteen services,
including the interconnection, retail, national roaming and number portability services, and co-location on cellular
mobile transmission sites.
The preliminary view paper is available on the Commission’s website at:

The Commission invites submission from interested parties on this paper by 30 September 2005.
