Telecommunications Universal Service Management Agency Proclamation 2012

This proclamation is a formal instrument that switches on sections 3 to 125 of the Telecommunications Universal Service Management Agency Act 2012.

What it does:

Fixes 1 July 2012 as the day these sections officially become law
Made by the Governor-General under the commencement provisions of the parent Act

Why it matters: Without this proclamation, those sections of the Act would remain dormant. This instrument activates the legal framework establishing the Telecommunications Universal Service Management Agency (now known as the Regional Broadband Scheme), which oversees universal service obligations for telecommunications in Australia.
