##### 306 Timed traffic across networks operated by different carriers
(1) Where a single timed connection (in this section called the shared connection) is established across 2 or more telecommunications networks in Australia, not all of which are operated by the same carrier, this section applies for the purposes of subsection 305(1) as it applies in relation to each carrier that operates one or more of those networks.
(2) The shared connection is taken to be a connection (in this section called the notional connection) across such of those networks as that carrier operates.
(3) The duration of the notional connection is taken to be the time worked out in accordance with the formula:
Duration of shared connection
Number of sharing carriers
where:
> Duration of shared connection means the duration of the shared connection;
> Number of sharing carriers means the number of carriers that respectively operate the networks referred to in subsection (1).
