69 Trading the enhanced rights of use and licensing a smartnumber
(1) The EROU‑holder for a smartnumber may trade all the EROU‑holder’s enhanced rights of use. However, this does not entitle the EROU‑holder to trade only some of the enhanced rights of use.
Note: The surrender of the smartnumber does not prevent the EROU‑holder from trading the enhanced rights of use for the smartnumber.
(2) The EROU‑holder for a smartnumber may license another person to have an active service on the smartnumber.
Note: A carriage service provider must not hinder the porting of a smartnumber: see section 103.
(3) A trade of the enhanced rights of use does not come into effect until the ACMA is notified of the trade in the form approved by the ACMA.
Note: A person who becomes the EROU‑holder as the result of a trade must ensure that the Register contains accurate information: see section 68.
(4) Strict compliance with the approved form is required.
(5) The carriage service provider to which the smartnumber is allocated must not do anything to hinder the trading of the enhanced rights of use or the licensing of the smartnumber.
