July 2007

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has issued an on-the-spot fine to a cabler found working without a cabler registration. 

ACMA was investigating a complaint about non-compliant cabling work when a routine check of the cabler's registration found that he had allowed his registration to lapse.  The cabler was issued a Telecommunications Infringement Notice which involved an on-the-spot fine of $1,320.

It is against the law for people to perform any cabling work that connects to the telecommunications network without a cabler registration.
