Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a short, administrative direction that cancels (revokes) an earlier ministerial direction from April 2001 about universal service subsidies in telecommunications.

Who it affects: Primarily the Australian Communications Authority (the regulator), as it removes a previous instruction they were operating under.

Why it matters: It cleans up the legal framework by ensuring the old Direction No. 1 no longer applies, preventing confusion between overlapping instructions. Note that this document doesn't set any new rules about subsidies itself—it simply removes the previous ones.
