Schedule 1: The electronic communications code
The electronic communications code was previously found in the Telecommunications Act 1984 (see Schedule 2 of that Act). This Act replaces that code with a new code (see Schedule 1 of this Act), which is inserted into the 2003 Act (as Schedule 3A to that Act). In these notes, we refer to the existing code (meaning the code in Schedule 2 to the 1984 Act) and the new code (in Schedule 1 to this Act) where appropriate to draw out similarities and differences between the previous and new legislation. References to the existing code and the new code adopts the terminology used in paragraph 1 of Schedule 2 to this Act (transitional provisions relating to the electronic communications code).
