TELECOMMUNICATIONS

1999-09-27

These Regulations amend the telecommunications licences granted to Vodafone Limited (Vodafone), Telecom Securicor Radio Limited (BT Cellnet), Mercury Personal Communications Limited, Orange Personal Communications Services Limited and Dolphin Telecommunications Limited under section 7 of the Telecommunications Act 1984 on 9 December 1993, 22 March 1994, 9 May 1995, 27 July 1995 and 31 December 1997 respectively for the provision of mobile radio telecommunication services. The Schedules to the Telecommunications (Licence Modification) (Standard Schedules) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/2450) replace the Schedules to the licences, subject to certain specific amendments. The licences are being amended as part of the implementation in the United Kingdom of Directive 97/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on a common framework for general authorisations and individual licences in the field of telecommunications (O.J. No. L199, 26.7.97, p.32), which requires that conditions in all telecommunications licences of a similar type should be harmonised, except where objectively justified in particular instances.
