[AusNOG] OT? Council Public WiFi ACMA Liability

[Mark Currie]

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
