<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Guys, we are satisfied with the current non-commercial definition as released by the ACA last month. Under those definitions we are non-commercial, and as such are exempt from the carrier license requirement of the Telco Act.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">BTW this was also the opinion of the Attorney Generals office when I spoke to them last week, so I think we're pretty safe on this front! </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The only issue that really remains, is exactly where do we fit in as far as law enforcement is concerned. This is a matter for the AG's Dept, and they will be getting back to me in the next few weeks to discuss further. FYI their main concern relates to internet connectivity, so atm we are considered a low risk anyway....</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">That being said, Karun, we'd certainly be interested in anything your father has to say on the subject anyway... so thanks.</font>

If you can come up with a definitive answer from your father - whether<br>
or not it endorses what Melbourne Wireless is trying to do - we owe him,<br>
and you, a debt of gratitude.<br>
