Telecommunications Act 1997

For the purposes of this Part, a local access line is a line that is part of the infrastructure of a local access network.

However, a line does not form part of a local access line to the extent that the line is on the customer side of the boundary of a telecommunications network.

Subsection (2) has effect subject to subsection (2B).

For the purposes of:

section 142C; and

sections 151ZF, 151ZG and 151ZH, to the extent to which they relate to a line to which section 142C applies; and

any other provision of this Part, so far as that provision relates to:

section 142C; or

section 151ZF, 151ZG or 151ZH, to the extent to which that section relates to a line to which section 142C applies;

the line is taken to be a local access line; and

the line is taken to form part of the infrastructure of a telecommunications network.

For the purposes of this section, the boundary of a telecommunications network is to be determined in the same manner in which it is determined under section 22 for the purposes of sections 20, 21 and 30.

For the purposes of this section, local access network has the meaning generally accepted within the telecommunications industry.
