The Telecommunications Council today received an
inquiry from the MPHPT Minister concerning a partial amendment of
the public announcement concerning the designation of category 1 designated
telecommunications facilities (MPHPT Announcement No. 243, 2001).
In this public announcement, the designation as category 1 designated
telecommunications facilities is limited to those having the function
of distributing telecommunications facilities to other telecommunications
carriers or those that can reciprocally match this.
However, with the recent advent of routers that are not appropriate
to bottleneck facilities even thought they have the distributing
function, regulations have been put in place with this public announcement
concerning routers.
The council is inviting comments concerning this public announcement
until June 14.
