The Office may include a condition, in the licence of each licensee that provides an ICT service or ICT network specified under section 61, requiring such licensee to provide one or more categories of universal service, provided that such requirement shall be transparent and non-discriminatory as between licensees that provide such a specified service or network, and is not more burdensome than is necessary for the category of universal service required to be offered.
A licensee who is required by its licence to provide one or more categories of universal service to any person shall do so on such terms, including as to price and the quality of service, as may be specified in the licence.
For the purposes of subsection (1), the categories of universal service that may be required include —
public voice telephony services together with free calls to emergency services and directory assistance; and
Internet access together with free Internet access for educational or health facilities.
