Part 4: Notices Retention, national security and technical capability notices Section 19: Meaning of "telecommunications operator" etc
As companies increasingly have multiple entities spread across the globe involved in the delivery of their services, this section amends the definition of a TO out of an abundance of caution to ensure the IPA 2016 continues to apply to all those it was intended to.
	Section 261(10)(c) of the IPA 2016 provides additional clarification ensuring that large companies with complex corporate structures are covered in their totality by the IPA 2016. The amendment made by this Act is not seeking to bring additional companies within scope.
	The amendment to section 253(1)(a) makes clear that a TCN may be issued to one entity in relation to another entity’s capability.
