Subsection 12(1) relates to the definition of "network operator", not a definition of a public electronic communications network. Surely there is a difference between subsection 12(8)(b)(1), "overground electronic communications infrastructure" - that is a different phrase - and the explanation of what a network operator is in subsection 12(1)(a), which refers to "a public electronic communications network". Is the Minister of State trying to say that the definition of a network operator in subsection 12(1) provides a definition for an overground electronic communications infrastructure?
