TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT 1991 No. 98 of 1991 - SECT 89
Declarations
89. It is the Parliament's intention:
(a) that the general carriers, as the primary providers of Australia's
public telecommunications infrastructure and networks, should have
certain reserved rights in relation to the following aspects of that
infrastructure and those networks:
(i) the provision of line links;
(ii) the use of satellite-based facilities;
(iii) the provision of public payphones; and
(b) that the mobile carriers, as the primary suppliers of public mobile
telecommunications services, should have certain reserved rights in
relation to the supply of such services; and
(c) that, subject to Part 9, the carriers should be able to use facilities
under their control to supply telecommunications services in a way
that enables the carriers to exploit the economies of scale and scope
available to them because they control those facilities; and
(d) that, subject to subparagraph (a) (iii), the supply, installation,
maintenance and operation of all equipment, lines and other facilities
that are connected to, but beyond the boundaries of, the carriers'
telecommunications networks should be open to competition; and
(e) that nothing in this Part limits the right of the general carriers to
supply, or should discourage them from supplying,
telecommunications services by means of radiocommunication or by any
other means, whether or not the supply also involves the use of
line links or satellite-based facilities.
