There are some exemptions etc to it.

However essentially your NOC, Core Network, Gateways / Interconnects, Customer Databases, Network Authentication systems, etc all require not just notification but their approval of your change.

Or any part of your network crossed by at least 15% of your total traffic. Which in a traffic-engineered network may be a lot of your topology. Especially if they choose to include failure cases.

This list's AUP doesn't permit discussion mainly legal in character, but this stuff is a real operational issue. Any operator working in New Zealand needs to apply themselves to working out what's going on.

Hang on... is this serious?

You aren't allowed to upgrade some equipment without informing the GCSB unless it is the same make and similar model?

How did this ACT get through?

Hey all,

So the TICSA came into effect today.

Things to remember:
The Act requires that network operators register their information
with the Police Registrar.  Details here:

The NCSC has also produced some guidance for Network Operators which
is worth a read.

http://ncsc.govt.nz/assets/TICSA/NCSC-Guidance-for-Network-Operators.pdf

The GCSB have also published a list of exceptions for Operators with
regard to what you're required to notify them of.

As you were =)
