Recommendations for Access to Facilities Regulations
This is the second draft of the Access to Facilities Regulations 2005, and has been amended following a first round of consultation which commenced on 1 July 2005 and closed on 15 July 2005. The issues addressed in this document were initially addressed in the Interconnect Regulations published by the Authority for consultation on 11 October 2004. Following that consultation the Authority determined that access to facilities would more appropriately be addressed in a separate document from interconnection (in line with the appropriate sections of the Telecommunications Act).
The draft regulations have been amended to take into account the comments and recommendations made, but also to address the additional issues raised in section 2 of this document.
As the issues in this document have already been consulted upon on two occasions, this second draft of the regulations is the final draft.
The Access to Facilities Regulations 2005 will now be submitted to the Minister for approval, and promulgation by negative resolution of Parliament in accordance with section 78 of the Act.
