  <DIV>It would be interesting to hear a summary of people’s experience on this 
  as there is no published process.</DIV>
  <DIV>
  <UL>
    <LI>As we all know, the list of applicants is first published followed, a 
    few days later, by the application documents (once the confidential sections 
    have been redacted).&nbsp;&nbsp; 
    <LI>We understand the application is broken into various sections and 
    'farmed out’ to specialists in each area.&nbsp; 
    <LI>We can’t identify any discernible order that Ofcom use for prioritising 
    which applications to look at from a region.&nbsp; 
    <LI>If Ofcom has a query regarding anything in your application they will 
    invariably email you.&nbsp; Our experience is that their questions are not 
    worded particularly well (this could be intentional).&nbsp; So be careful 
    how you answer them - don’t offer more that they are asking or you could dig 
    yourself into a hole!</LI></UL>
  <DIV>In short, that’s our experience on behalf of our clients.&nbsp; Anyone
