numbers for use in connection with a service using IP technology","content":"Part 5 Guidelines — application for geographic numbers or location independent communications service numbers for use in connection with a service using IP technology\n\nThese guidelines set out matters to which a carriage service provider (CSP) must have regard when providing a statement, under clause 2.7 or 3.7 of this Schedule, in an application for the allocation of geographic numbers or location independent communications service numbers that are to be used in connection with a service using IP technology.\n\n    The provision of numbers for carriage services within Australia\n\nUnder section 455 of the Telecommunications Act 1997, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is required to develop and maintain this Telecommunications Numbering Plan 1997 (the Numbering Plan). The Numbering Plan provides for the specification of numbers for carriage services by service type. Numbers must be allocated to CSPs as specified under the Numbering Plan. Numbers allocated to CSPs must be issued to customers for the supply of carriage services that are consistent with the service type for which they have been specified. CSPs must take reasonable steps to ensure that numbers are used in a manner that complies with the provisions of the Numbering Plan.\n\n    Geographic numbers\n\nGeographic numbers are specified in Schedule 2 of the Numbering Plan. The provisions of Chapter 3 of the Numbering Plan stipulate how geographic numbers may be used in connection with the supply of carriage services in Australia. Section 3.4 of the Numbering Plan sets out the manner in which a geographic number must be used. Subsection (1) of section 3.4 prohibits the use of geographic numbers except in connection with the supply of a local service. Subsection (4) of section 3.4 provides that the call on a geographic number must terminate in the standard zone unit (SZU) in relation to which the geographic number was allocated to the CSP. This requirement can also be satisfied if the CSP can establish a location to which call charges can be applied ‘as if’ the geographic number terminated within the SZU to which it was originally allocated.\n\nTherefore, when requesting an allocation of geographic numbers, a CSP must be able to establish a permanent location to which calls to the number must terminate. The underlying rationale for these requirements in the use of geographic numbers is to provide CSPs with the ability to meet their obligation to provide the untimed local call option to customers in accordance with section 105 of the Telecommunications (Consumer Protection and Service Standards) Act 1999 on eligible local calls.\n\nSection 3.4 provides some flexibility in the use of geographic numbers. Subsections 3.4 (4A) and (4B) provide that if calls terminate at a location that is not in a charging district for the number in Schedule 2, the CSP must advise potential customers of limitations on the provision of the service. The CSP must also obtain an acknowledgement that a customer understands these limitations before entering into an arrangement for supply of the service. However, the CSP will not be required to meet these requirements if the CSP is covered by an industry code, registered by the ACMA under section 117 of the Act and included in the Register of Industry Codes kept under section 136 of the Act, that sets out the information the CSP is required to provide to a potential customer in relation to the use of geographic numbers outside of the relevant charging district for the number. Similar provisions are included in sections 3.5 and 3.7 for numbers of local and broad geographic significance.\n\nWhen applying for an allocation of geographic numbers a CSP must be able to show that it is able to meet the notification requirements in subsection 3.4 (4B), or demonstrate that it is covered by an appropriate industry code registered by the ACMA.\n\nFurthermore, when applying for geographic numbers, a CSP must have regard to the criteria described in the table at the end of this Part.\n\n    Location independent communications services (LICS)\n\nA special services number range 0550 has been specified for use by LICS providers to accommodate nomadic services. This range has been specified in Part 1 of Schedule 4 of the Numbering Plan. The range is for the allocation of numbers for services that will not be charged by reference to a fixed location because they are nomadic. The service will be considered nomadic if it is itinerant in nature or otherwise departs significantly from other service types specified in the Numbering Plan, particularly local services.\n\nThe LICS range is also suitable for services that fall below any of the service characteristics of PSTN or equivalent levels.\n\nGeographic numbers will be allocated to CSPs for a service utilising IP telephony if the service meets the requirements of a local service in accordance with Chapter 3 of the Numbering Plan. However, a service where a fixed location cannot be established must be allocated a number from the LICS range. CSPs must not issue a geographic number to a customer to provide a carriage service if this requirement cannot be established.\n\n    Selection of numbers\n\nWhen applying for numbers to be issued to customers for use with IP telephony, CSPs should select a number range that is consistent with the comparable service type described in the following table. Note that PC‑PC based services, independent of the PSTN network, are not included because they are not ‘carriage services to the public’ within the meaning of section 455 of the Act.","sortOrder":13}],"analysis":{"kimi_summary":{"_metrics":{"model":"kimi-k2.5","source":"moonshot-realtime","completionTokens":2037},"content_quality":"ok","complexity_score":8,"scope_assessment":{"changed":true,"description":"The original 1997 plan has significantly expanded beyond its initial scope to accommodate internet-based communications.
