12 Pre‑existing eligible services
(1) Where, immediately before the repeal of section 104 of the Telecommunications Act 1989: (a) a person was supplying a value added service, or a private network service, within the meaning of that Act: (i) that was connected to a telecommunications network operated by a carrier within the meaning of that Act; and (ii) in respect of the supply of which the person had obtained the carrier’s approval; and (b) because of subsection 104(1) of that Act, the service was taken to be supplied under a class licence within the meaning of that Act; then, so far as it is supplied after that repeal, the service is taken to be an eligible service supplied under a class licence within the meaning of the Telecommunications Act 1991. (2) However, if at any time after that repeal the person supplies the service in a way that is not in accordance with that approval, subsection (1) ceases to apply in relation to the supply of the service by the person.
