353  Use of over‑ride dial codes
 (1) This section applies to a carriage service provider (the first provider) if:
 (a) the first provider supplies a carriage service that involves the use of a controlled network, or a controlled facility, of a carrier, of the first provider or of another carriage service provider; and
 (b) in accordance with a determination under section 349, the network or facility, as the case may be, provides over‑ride dial codes for selecting alternative carriage service providers on a call‑by‑call basis.
 (2) Unless, in the ACMA's opinion:
 (a) it would not be technically feasible; or
 (b) it would impose unreasonable financial hardship on the first provider;
the first provider must take such steps as are necessary to ensure that each end‑user of the carriage service is able to make use of those codes for selecting alternative carriage service providers on a call‑by‑call basis.
 (3) The requirement in subsection (2) does not, by implication, prevent an alternative carriage service provider from refusing to supply a carriage service to the end‑user concerned.
