This Order specifies the radio frequencies for which the Office of Communications (“OFCOM”) will grant wireless telegraphy licences.
Article 2(1) provides that a limited number of licences will be granted for the use of frequencies in the specified frequency bands. Article 2(2) sets out the criteria that OFCOM will apply in determining the limit on the number of licences and the persons to whom the licences will be granted.
