The TDL is an annual levy that the Government uses to pay for improvements to New Zealand’s telecommunications infrastructure, including the relay service for the deaf and hearing-impaired, broadband for rural areas, and improvements to the 111 emergency service.
The court case hung on the question of whether, after legislative changes in 2018, communications on a telco network had to be two-way. The judgment confirmed that, with the exception of free-to-air broadcasters and satellite providers operating outside New Zealand, local businesses involved in broadcasting transmission, such as Sky TV, could be liable to pay the levy.
