48: Creation of spectrum licence by manager

You could also call this:

"Getting a licence to use radio waves from a manager"

Illustration for Radiocommunications Act 1989

You can get a spectrum licence when a manager wants to give someone the right to transmit on a frequency band. The manager can create this licence for registration. The licence is not valid until it is registered. You can get a licence for different rights, like transmitting on a frequency band or not getting harmful interference. The manager creates the licence in a special form. The licence is not valid until it is registered. A licence created under certain conditions can be a general user spectrum licence for the purposes of section 55A. This means it has special rules. The licence is still not valid until it is registered.
