On 16 May 2002, under the Telecommunications Act 2001 ("the Act"), TelstraClear Limited filed an application for an access determination concerning price and non-price terms in respect of interconnection with Telecom's fixed PSTN and interconnection with TelstraClear's fixed PSTN, retail services and bundles of retail services offered by means of Telecom's fixed telecommunications network, and retail services offered by means of Telecom's fixed telecommunications network as part of a bundle of retail services.
On 11 June, the Commission made an Order, under the Act, that the services named in the Application could be divided into "Interconnection" and "Wholesale" services, and that the Commission would consider separately these two types of services.
On 18 July, under the Act, the Commission issued a Decision to Investigate the TelstraClear Wholesale Application insofar as it concerns individual retail services and not to investigate the Application insofar as it concerns bundles and parts of bundles of retail services.
On 25 November, the Commission issued a Draft Wholesale Determination. A conference on the Draft Determination was held on 10, 12, 13 and 14 February 2003.
