On 15 March 2012 and in accordance with section 30R
of the Telecommunications Act 2001 ("the Act"), the Commerce Commission ("Commission") gave public notice of its decision to commence a review of the standard
terms determinations for the designated services Chorus’ unbundled copper local loop backhaul (telephone exchange to interconnect point) (UCLL Backhaul) and unbundled bitstream access backhaul (UBA Backhaul).
The Commission wishes to give public notice of an amendment to the scope of the review under section 30R of the Act.
The Commission notifies that the review will also cover the Unbundled Copper Low Frequency Backhaul Service (UCLF Backhaul) because one of the standard terms determinations in question covers both the UCLL Backhaul and UCLF Backhaul services.
The amended purpose of this review is, therefore, to determine on which parts of Chorus’ network Chorus must supply the UCLL Backhaul, UCLF Backhaul or UBA Backhaul services in response to an Access Seeker.
