Electronic Communications Act 2000 Explanatory Notes

Industry “Approvals” Scheme

10.The Government has said that it would prefer to see an industry led approvals process instead of the statutory scheme envisaged in Part I of the Act. The Alliance for Electronic Business (AEB) has drawn up an industry led scheme (known as the tScheme). The Government has said that it will not commence Part I of the Act if it continues to be satisfied that the tScheme meets the Government’s objectives. A prospectus detailing the Scheme has been published and is available at www.fei.org.uk/fei/news/tscheme.html.
