11  The arrangements that apply to universal service areas

 (1) This section sets out the arrangements for the fulfilment of the universal service obligation by universal service providers.

 (2) The default arrangements set out in Division 5 apply to each universal service area in respect of a service obligation.

 (3) If the Minister determines under section 11C, for a universal service area in respect of a service obligation, that the obligation is a contestable service obligation, then:
 (a) the default arrangements set out in Division 5 apply to the area; and
 (b) the standard contestability arrangements set out in Division 6 apply to the area in respect of the contestable service obligation.

 (4) If the Minister determines under Division 7 that alternative arrangements apply to a universal service area in respect of a service obligation (whether or not it is a contestable service obligation), then:
 (a) those alternative arrangements apply to the area; and
 (b) the default arrangements set out in Division 5 apply to the area except to the extent that the determination modifies the way those arrangements apply, or excludes them from applying, to the area.
