The Telecommunications Act 1997 in Queensland outlines the regulation and management of telecommunications services within the state. It sets out the responsibilities and obligations of telecommunications providers, addresses issues related to the provision of services, and establishes guidelines for ensuring the effective and efficient operation of telecommunications networks. The Act also includes provisions for the protection of consumer rights, the promotion of competition in the telecommunications industry, and the resolution of disputes between providers and consumers. Additionally, it may address matters such as licensing requirements, spectrum management, and regulatory oversight of telecommunications infrastructure.
