73 Waiver of enhanced rights of use
(1) The EROU‑holder for an assigned unallocated smartnumber may notify the ACMA, in a form approved by the ACMA, that the EROU‑holder no longer wants the enhanced rights of use for the smartnumber.
Note: If an EROU‑holder wants to give a notice in respect of an allocated smartnumber, the EROU‑holder would need to request that the carriage service provider surrender the smartnumber: see section 70.
(2) Strict compliance with the approved form is required.
(3) At the time when the ACMA receives a notice under subsection (1):
(a) the smartnumber becomes an unassigned unallocated smartnumber; and
(b) the EROU‑holder ceases to be the EROU‑holder for the smartnumber.
Note: An application for the initial allocation of an unassigned unallocated smartnumber must be made under section 63.
