Pursuant to section 30D of the Telecommunications Act 2001 ("the Act"), the Commerce Commission gives public notice that it has decided, under section 30C of the Act, to initiate a standard terms development process for the designated access service described in subpart 1, Part 2 of Schedule 1 of the Act as:
"Termination (and its associated functions) on a cellular mobile telephone network of any, or any combination, of the following:
- voice calls originating on a fixed telephone network;
- voice calls originating on another cellular mobile telephone network; and
- short-message-service (SMS) originating on another cellular mobile telephone network.
For the avoidance of doubt, these services include the termination of internationally originated voice calls and SMS, and voice-over-Internet-protocol-originated voice calls, where these are handed over at a mobile switching centre in New Zealand."
