Radio licences

110: Part to apply to frequencies unless or until record of management rights registered and rights commence

You could also call this:

"This part of the law applies to radio frequencies until management rights are registered"

Illustration for Radiocommunications Act 1989

This part of the law applies to every radio frequency. You need to know that this applies unless a record of management rights is registered and the rights start under Part 2 for that radio frequency. This part still applies to some emissions even if management rights are registered. This part does not apply to you if you are a rightholder sending radio waves with a spectrum licence. It also does not apply if you are sending radio waves with a general user spectrum licence. You can find more information about management rights under Part 2. When management rights are registered under Part 2, this part still applies to emissions on low frequencies. This is either below the power floor specified or below –50dBW if no power floor is specified.
