Special Digital Data Service Provider Determination Revocation 2006 (No. 1)

This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.

This instrument cancels a previous government decision made in 2002 that gave certain digital data service providers 'special' status under telecommunications law.

What it does:

Revokes (cancels) the Special Digital Data Service Provider Determination 2002 (No. 1)
This removes any special designations, obligations, or regulatory requirements that were imposed on specific digital data service providers under that 2002 decision

Who it affects:

Telecommunications companies previously designated as 'special digital data service providers' under the revoked 2002 Determination
These providers are no longer subject to the specific regulatory requirements attached to that classification

Why it matters: This removes outdated regulatory classifications, effectively deregulating or reclassifying the affected service providers. The change takes effect automatically the day after this instrument is registered on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments.
