Introduction
The ACMA has responsibility for planning and managing the parts of the radiofrequency spectrum. The ACMA aims to increase the range and diversity of broadcasting services and to provide audiences with better access to those services. It continues to increase access to analog
radio and television services while at the same time facilitates the roll out of digital services.
There can be no more than three commercial television licenses in a market until after a date
specified by Government proclamation (currently 2006) but no such limit applies to the
allocation of new commercial or community radio licenses. These licenses may be allocated to
any suitable person. New commercial broadcasting services are allocated by a price-based
system. Community licenses are allocated on a merit-based system.
The ACMA has determined a class license for subscription radio broadcasting, subscription
radio or television narrowcasting and open radio or television narrowcasting. A person or
company intending to provide any such service can commence operations straight away,
although they must comply with the conditions of their particular class license.
Legislation
In response to unexpectedly strong market demand, ACMA has decided to use a price-based
allocation process for fixed (point to multipoint station) apparatus licenses for broadband
wireless access services in the 1.9 GHz band.
The frequencies to be allocated are in the 1900-1920 MHz frequency range.
Where demand exceeds supply, ACMA will adopt a price-based allocation system (allowable
under s.106 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992) rather than use a first-in-time allocation
process. In the meantime, ACMA will not issue apparatus licenses for broadband wireless
access services in the 1.9 GHz band under the first-in-time process.
Under the price-based allocation model, license applications are assessed at a closing date
(scheduled every three months) and an open-outcry auction is held where applications
demonstrate that demand exceeds supply.
If there is only one potential licensee for a particular area, that license will be made available at
a reserve price, yet to be determined.
Radio Frequency Register
The register is intended to be a handy source of reference information on radiocommunications
services. Information gathered via this interface is on a real-time basis. Each search is generally
limited to 50 results per page, with an overall limit of approximately 5000 results per search,
depending upon the particular options used.
