Comments
TysonClugg - After speaking with various people from the ACA, it has become clear that little progress can be made with respect to the Telecommunications Act becuase of a lack of clarity in current regulations. DCITA is in the process of providing clarification to intended interpretation of the act, the outcome of which will shape any development of codes related to the Telecommunications Act.Wireless Code of Practice
