color:#1F497D">The licence as a service provider is £250, with £100 application fee. It’s unclear if the £500 PPL fee is for newcomers to broadcasting, or is in addition
to our fees for FM. As always they are playing catch-up as technologies change. I suspect the fee will be anything from nothing to £500.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D">As for technical costs that depends on what you want to do and who you want to work with. Are you planning to be a multiplex holder? Or a service provider?
As the holder you will need to pay for the site, and the installation costs. Ofcom will supply (most of) the kits and cover line costs. As a service provider you might be asked to pay for carriage, or to supply the kit to send and receive your audio stream
to the multiplex operator. On this list there are a mix of people. Some want to run the technology (the engineers) and some want to supply services, either current CR stations or those hoping for a brief fling to show what they can do. How much it costs depends
where on that scale you fall. Of course it does working with our commercial friends, but that’s part of the trial to see if we can. As by working in partnerships we can cut costs and run genuinely local services ourselves.

an additional service it would need its own DSPS licence as well as our needing a DSPS licence for our existing FM service to be broadcast on DAB. So we would need two DSPS licenses plus two sets of copyright licenses.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

to have a separate DSPS licence and the same question could be asked of the copyright people I suppose. Otherwise participants in this trial will need to spend a significant amount of money - over £1,000 - on DSPS licenses for two services and copyright while
almost nothing on the technical equipment etc at the core of the trial. Seems barmy but that 's radio for you!<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
