Radiocommunications Act 1989

Registration of rightholders

57: Modification or cancellation of spectrum licence by rightholder alone

You could also call this:

"Changing or Cancelling Your Spectrum Licence"

Illustration for Radiocommunications Act 1989

You can modify or cancel your spectrum licence if it says you can do so. You must send a notice to the Registrar in the correct form. The notice must say what you want to change and when you want the change to happen. You can send the notice to the Registrar by electronic or other means. The Registrar will then send the details to the manager in charge of the frequency band. This must be done as soon as possible after the Registrar gets your notice. The manager needs to know about the change so they can update their records. You must follow the correct process to modify or cancel your spectrum licence. The Registrar and the manager will work together to make sure everything is done correctly.
