Overview

A Management Right confers the right to create spectrum licences within a specified range of frequencies that form a discrete block of the radio spectrum.

A Management Right does not itself grant the right to make any transmissions.

All transactions within the Management Rights and Spectrum Licensing regime are processed via various forms prescribed in the Radiocommunications Act 1989. The compulsory wording and format of the various forms are contained in Schedule 7 of the Radiocommunications Regulations 2001.

You can access the Spectrum Forms n Schedule 7 from the legislation website.
