<div class="ecxmoz-cite-prefix">Not having been involved in RSLs
(short) for some time I note from other comments that there still
seem to be problems (such frequencies and early cut off dates)
which have been around since the Home Office ran the scheme. The
history of radio links provision has had similar issues which were
mainly dealt with by providing more spectrum, in common with
mobiles, etc., primarily in city areas. This pro-active approach
has been sadly lacking in the broadcast bands, possibly because of
the need to pretend that there is a spectrum shortage. Out
sourcing has usually been on the basis of fixed cleared
frequencies in licensed bands so presumably this would need to be
around 87-88 megs. Standard issue kit in this sub band has
already been implemented (radio cracker) so it would be feasible.
A further point - has anyone been consulted about these changes to
licence conditions?<br>

<div dir="ltr">Surprising - just like the royalty licecenes for
RSL's the Ofcom fees are extortionate (£1960k for 28 days plus
£400 application fee) so I had assumed it was as a nice little
profit centre for Ofcom.

<div>Surely it can't cost them more than £2.4k in administration
to evaluate a S-RSL application?</div>

<div>If this is driven by manpower or admin cost issues they
ought to consider out-sourcing the work like they have already
for radio links....</div>
