2.1 Radio licensing regime

Up one level

The VHF and UHF land mobile bands in New Zealand are administered under the framework of Part 13 of the Radiocommunications Act 1989, which establishes the radio licensing regime. Under the radio licensing regime, the spectrum is owned by the Crown and radio licences to use the spectrum are granted on a first-come, first-served basis under the control of the Ministry of Economic Development.
