<DIV dir=ltr>No.<BR>" fixed cleared frequencies in licensed bands ......around
87-88 megs" is what Ofcom has tried to implement but it's simply a cop-out.
<DIV>It needs a simple on-site evaluation of spectral occupancy to be sent to
Ofcom with a request to select one of the frequencies which is

[cma-l] S-RSL applications for radio<BR><BR>
<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><BR>Tony Bailey<BR><BR>On 17/03/15 14:32, Associated

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