3.

The authority will be effective and the licence will be amended only at such time as:

  • the licensee confirms in writing that it is ready to begin operation of the transmitters. This must take place within 12 months of today's date. Any request for an extension to that deadline requires Commission approval and must be made in writing within that period.
  •  the Department of Industry, having advised that the application is conditionally technically acceptable, has determined that there is no unacceptable interference with NAV/COM services and indicated that it will issue a broadcasting certificate (section 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act).

4.

Some of the technical parameters approved in this decision are for low-power unprotected FM services. For each of these low-power FM services, the applicant would have to select another frequency for the operation of the services should optimum utilization of the broadcasting spectrum so require.

5.

The Commission acknowledges the numerous interventions filed in support of this application.
