Our role in the ICT sector

The New Zealand government oversees several key legislations related to telecommunications, including the Telecommunications Act 2001 for promoting competition, the Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act 2013 for interception capability and security, and others like the Radiocommunications Act 1989, Postal Services Act 1998, and more. They manage registers, enforce regulations, provide policy advice, monitor telecommunications functions, and represent the country in international ICT forums. They also coordinate e-commerce policy development to ensure electronic transactions are facilitated without legal barriers. InternetNZ collaborates on managing the .nz domain name.
