Thanks to all who have responded (both on and off list)....kind of what I thought...it's as clear as mud...many different responses...but nothing really clear and concise..
We have also consulted our lawyers who have advised us that we should not provide advice or opinion in this area to our client, so have advised our client of such and have provided some links to information on the ACMA website, as well a recommendation that they should contact a telecommunications lawyer and/or the ACMA. Cheers and thanks, Mark Currie From: AusNOG [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Currie Sent: Monday, 3 July 2017 12:20 PM To: <[email protected]> <[email protected]> Subject: [AusNOG] OT? Council Public WiFi ACMA Liability Hi Noggers, Sorry if slightly, OT, but not sure who else to ask for a quick answer/opinion. Just had a question from a local council we are providing some Wifi kit for a semi public Wifi service (only within council buildings such as pool etc). "A question was raised to us this morning in regards to the public WiFi tender and our legal grounds as a carrier based on the telecommunications act. I'm a little dubious on it (If its actually a valid concern or not)." Does anyone out there know what the liability of a local ouncil would be in relation to the act and the ACMA, and if they would/could be regarded as a carrier? Thanks, Mark Currie
