Passage of Amendment Bill and 2GHz auction

Up one level
  1. A Labour-Alliance coalition Government was elected in November 1999. While the new Government upheld the previous National Government decision in regard to the WAI 776 claim, it also reserved one '3G' block of 2GHz band spectrum for Maori economic development purposes. The Radiocommunications Amendment Act 2000 received the Royal Assent on 7 April 2000, and the 2GHz auction concluded in February 2001. New Radiocommunications Regulations, to support the provisions of the amendment act were made by Order-In-Council on 10 September 2001.
