(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order is made under section 164 of the Communications Act 2003 (“the Act”). Section 164 of the Act implements Article 7(1)(c) of the Directive 2002/20/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on the authorisation of electronic communications networks and services (Authorisation Directive) (OJ No L 108, 24.4.02, p21). Under section 164(1) OFCOM may, if they consider it appropriate for the purpose of securing the efficient use of the electro-magnetic spectrum to impose limitations on the use of particular frequencies, make an order imposing these limitations.
This Order specifies frequency bands for the use of which OFCOM will grant only a limited number of wireless telegraphy licences. The licences will be within the licence class known as Spectrum Access.
In determining the limit on the number of licences at these frequencies and the persons to whom licences will be granted, OFCOM shall apply the procedure set out in the Wireless Telegraphy (Licence Award) (No. 2) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/1806).
A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that this Order will have on the costs to business is available to the public from OFCOM at Riverside House, 2a Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1 9HA (Tel: 020 7981 3000) or on the Office of Communications Internet web site at www.ofcom.org.uk. Copies of the report have also been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
