RT>     WIRELESS BROADBAND INTERNET ACCESS PROVIDERS
RT> OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 313 OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT 1997
 
RT> I understand Melbourne Wireless is operating or intending to operate a
RT> wireless broadband network to facilitate access by customers to the
RT> Internet and/or the PSTN. I am writing to all wireless broadband access
RT> providers to inform them of their obligations under section 313 of the

RT> used to commit offences. They must also give the authorities such help
RT> as is reasonably necessary for the purposes of enforcing the criminal
RT> law and laws imposing pecuniary penalties; protecting the public
RT> revenus; and safeguarding national security. This may help include
RT> provision of interception services, including services in executing an
RT> interception warrant under the Telecommunications (Interception) Act
RT> 1979.
 
RT> An Overview of these obligations, including a link to the manual
RT> 'Telecommunications and Law Enforcement', is available at the Australian
RT> Communications Authority website:
 
RT> http://www.aca.gov.au/licence/public_interestobligations.htm 
 
RT> An officer from my office, the Australian Security Intelligence
RT> Organisation or a law enforcement agency may have already made contact
RT> with you to discuss details of the services offered by your company and
RT> the assistance that may be requested. If not, you should expect contact
RT> to be made in the near future. Specific issues to be discussed will
RT> include:
 
RT> a.    architecture/technical details of the service being offered, the
RT> customer base and distribution, and roll out plans;
 
RT> b.    the nature of subscriber and historical traffic data that might be
RT> requested, the information that might be provided as part of the
RT> request, and the format in which the information can be provided;
 
RT> c.    the telecommunications interception warrant process;
 
RT> d.    identifiers for each service;
 
RT> e.    technical implementation facilities, and interception product
RT> delivery arrangements;
 
RT> f.    service level agreements; and
 
RT> g.    physical security arrangements and security clearance requirements
RT> for the handling of classified information.
 
RT> I would appreciate your advice of the most appropriate point of contact
RT> within your organisation. If you have any queries, please do not
RT> hesitate to contact myself or <name withheld>, (xx) xxxx.xxxx or email
RT> her at: xxx at xx.xxx.xx
