10 Calculation of price movement
(1) A price movement for:
(a) the first basket of services; or
(b) the second basket of services; or
(c) the third basket of services;
is taken to be the sum of the movements in the average price for each component product of the services in the relevant basket in the relevant period from the average price for that product in the financial year immediately preceding the relevant period (where the movement in average price of each product is weighted by the revenue derived from that product in the financial year immediately preceding the relevant period against the revenue derived from the relevant basket in the relevant period).
(2) The value of a price movement in a financial year or in the relevant period in relation to the relevant basket may be determined in accordance with a methodology (if any) developed by the ACCC in writing.
(3) The ACCC must consult with Telstra in developing the methodology under subclause (2).
(4) A methodology developed by the ACCC under subclause (2) may also set out how specified provisions of this Determination are to apply.
(5) The specified provisions of the Determination referred to in subclause (4) will apply in accordance with the methodology developed by the ACCC under subclause (2).

(a) the price-cap that is to apply in the relevant period to:
(i) the first basket of services; or
(ii) the second basket of services; or
(iii) the third basket of services;
is found to be incorrect because of an error in the value of the price movement of that basket that was determined for the financial year immediately preceding the relevant period under subclause 10(2); and
(b) the incorrect price-cap differs from the correct price-cap by more than 0.3 percentage points;
the correct price-cap applies instead of the incorrect price-cap.
12 Calls in relation to the Extended Zones

at an untimed local call rate specified in clause 13 of this Determination.
(2) Telstra must not charge for preferential calls at a rate of more than 27.5 cents per 12 minute block of time (or part thereof) until the untimed local call rate (specified in clause 13 of this Determination) is introduced for these calls in accordance with Part B (Pricing Services) of Schedule 1 to the Agreement for the provision of untimed local calls, untimed Internet access and other carrier services to Extended Zones dated 1 June 2001 between the Commonwealth and Telstra, as amended from time to time.
