(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order excepts from the requirement of a licence under section 4 of the Cable and Broadcasting Act 1984 the types of licensable cable programme service described in the Order. These are the simultaneous relaying of programmes broadcast by the BBC and the IBA; diffusion services in sound only whose signals are conveyed by a public telecommunications operator other than one licensed to provide a prescribed diffusion service; public presentations insofar as the signals are conveyed by such a person; and public presentations for which no charge is made and which do not include advertisements. The order also revokes the corresponding Order made under the Telecommunications Act 1984 (c. 12).
