The Commerce Commission today confirmed its conference timetable for the next four months.
The Commission will hold various public conferences on matters relating to telecommunications, electricity and Commerce Act authorisations.
Commission conferences provide interested parties with an opportunity to make oral presentations based on their submissions in response to Commission discussion papers. The Commission can ask questions based on those submissions at the conference.
All conferences will be held in Wellington. A venue will be confirmed in April.
