On 22 December 2006, the Telecommunications Act 2001 ('the Act') was amended to include a standard terms development process. The entirely new subpart 2A of the Act enables the Commission to make, as an alternative to bilateral access determinations, a determination on which a designated access or specified service must be supplied with reference to all access seekers and access providers of the service. Such a determination is referred to as a standard terms determination (STD). Section 30C of the Act provides that the Commission may, on its own initiative, initiate the standard terms development process for any of the designated or specified services within the Act. The following documents relate to the development of an Unbundled Bitstream standard access service.
