CSP?

I quickly looked through the bill but can't find a definition of what is a "Communication Service Provider" (CSP).

Is it companies providing physical infrastructure (Openreach copper pair), the ISP providing end-user IP connectivity (clearly regarded as CSP by the bill), any transit IP provider, companies providing any OTT "communication" service (SIP broker),...

What about "service provider" less communication?

While Theresa May insist that only metadata are recorded "https://muslim.org" or "https://gaysex.xxx" would allow to profile you far more than receiving Al-Queada latest orders on your gmail account (which will only generate https://mail.google.com ICRs).
