Ofcom extend Aeronautical Spectrum Pricing consultation

Ofcom is extending the closing date for responses to the consultation 'Applying spectrum pricing to the aeronautical sector' by one month to 22 April 2010.

Ofcom say:

Between 22 January and 18 February, the consultancy report “Aeronautical VHF Spectrum Pricing – Impacts on markets and customers” was missing from Annex 8 of the web based consultation document.

This report had been substituted with “Administered Incentive Pricing for aeronautical VHF communications”. We apologise for this error which happened when we made a minor correction to the formatting of Annex 8. This was discovered and corrected yesterday. We apologise for any confusion which this may have caused.”
