Telecommunications Act 2001

Commencement of Schedule 3 Investigation

On 8 May 2008, the Commerce Commission ("Commission") informed interested parties that it was considering commencing an investigation under Schedule 3 of the Telecommunications Act 2001 ("the Act") into whether or not to subject mobile-to-mobile termination access services to regulation, and sought the views of interested parties.

Following submissions from interested parties, the Commission released an Issues Paper on 8 August 2008 seeking further feedback on a number of issues, and sought the views of interested parties on these issues.

Having considered submissions received from interested parties, the Commission is satisfied, under clause 1(1) of Schedule 3 of the Act, that there are reasonable grounds to commence an investigation into whether or not the mobile termination access services (incorporating mobile-to-mobile voice termination, fixed-to-mobile voice termination and short-message-service termination) should become a regulated service under Schedule 1 of the Act.

A copy of the Commission’s reasons for this conclusion is available on the Commission’s website at

http://www.comcom.govt.nz/IndustryRegulation/Telecom munications/Investigations/MobiletoMobileTerminati on/mobiletomobiletermination.aspx

Pursuant to clause 1(6) of Schedule 3 of the Act, the Commission gives public notice of the commencement of this investigation.

Under clause 15 of Schedule 3A of the Act, any access provider that wishes to make an undertaking must do so not later than 12 January 2009.

Date of Notice: 6 November 2008.
