PURVIEW

Provides the statutory telecommunications framework governing authorisation, telecom services, networks, spectrum-related matters, user protection, security and regulatory powers. Its AI relevance arises because modern telecom networks are increasingly software-defined and use AI for traffic management, fraud detection, optimisation, customer operations and network security. For data protection and security, it is important because telecom operators process high volumes of subscriber and communications-related information and are subject to statutory obligations and delegated rules addressing security, network integrity, lawful requirements and protection of communications infrastructure.
