Condition 2

ALTERATIONS TO THE APPLICABLE SYSTEMS

2.1  The Licensee shall from time to time inform the Director and provide him with such additional information as he may reasonably require about any proposals for changes to the Applicable Systems or to any apparatus comprised therein or to any stored commands or protocol, which the Licensee might reasonably anticipate from the facts known to it would, or might when made, have the effect of requiring any person:

(a) running any system which is authorised to be run under a Licence which authorises connection of that system to the Applicable System; or

(b) producing or supplying telecommunication apparatus or telecommunication systems for connection to the Applicable Systems without being comprised in them,

materially to modify, or, as the case may be, to replace or cease to produce or supply, any item of telecommunication apparatus connected or to be connected to the Applicable Systems.

2.2  The Licensee shall prepare and publish in consultation with the Director not later than six months after the date on which this Licence enters into force a statement of its procedures for consulting, and giving advance notice to, those persons likely to be affected by such changes (including in particular the British Standards Institution and any person appointed by the Secretary of State under section 25 of the Act) and shall adhere to those procedures.

2.3  In this Condition:

• “to modify” in relation to any Other Apparatus or System means to make any alteration to that Other Apparatus or System which may be necessary to ensure that any Message which has been or is to be conveyed by means of the Applicable Systems connected or to be connected to that Other Apparatus or System is capable of being properly conveyed by that Other Apparatus or System or by the Applicable Systems as the case may be; and

• “Other Apparatus or System” means any telecommunication apparatus or telecommunication system together with any protocol, message format or stored command in such apparatus or system connected or to be connected to but not comprised in the Applicable Systems.
