These Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Register) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/3155) (the “Principal Regulations”).
The Principal Regulations require OFCOM to establish and maintain a public register of relevant information relating to wireless telegraphy licences of certain classes which apply to a station or apparatus operating within certain frequency bands specified in the Schedule to the Principal Regulations. Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends the Principal Regulations by inserting the Spectrum Access class of licence and relevant frequency bands for that class.
