Summary
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) published the results of a public comment process and a report (answer) from the Information and Communications Council regarding a draft ministerial ordinance to partially amend the Enforcement Rules of the Telecommunications Business Act and related rules. The draft reportedly concerns provisions on compensation/arrangements for public telephones for use during disasters. This appears to be a draft ordinance at the stage where public comment results and a council report have been released, not a confirmed enactment.
Business Impact
Telecommunications operators may need to monitor how the proposed rule changes regarding disaster-use public telephones could affect their obligations or operations.
Recommended Action
Review the official MIC source for the full text of the draft ordinance, the public comment results, and the council report before drawing any conclusions.
