Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument revokes a declaration made in 1999 that created special rules for certain companies providing digital data services (such as internet and data transmission services).

What this does:

Removes the "Digital Data Service Provider Declaration 1999 (No. 1)" from operation
Stops the specific regulatory obligations attached to that declaration from applying to service providers

Who it affects:

Telecommunications companies that were previously classified as Digital Data Service Providers under the 1999 rules
Consumers of digital data services (though effects depend on what specific obligations were removed)

Why it matters: This cleans up older telecommunications regulations, removing a service provider category that had existed for nearly a decade. This type of revocation typically reflects changes in technology or market structure that made the original classification obsolete or unnecessary.
