You could also call this:

"Rules for 2YB Service Licences"

Illustration for Radiocommunications Act 1989

You have a spectrum licence for the 2YB service. This licence has some conditions. You must provide a service on the frequency, which is no less favourable than it was in 1989. You also have to pay an annual levy to the Secretary. The levy is 1.5% of your gross income from services using the spectrum licence. Gross income means the total income before expenses, as defined in section 144. You pay the levy within 6 months after the end of the financial year. The rules about the levy are similar to the rules in section 150 and section 149(1)(a). You have to follow these rules when you pay the levy. You pay the levy for each financial year you hold the spectrum licence.
