Ofcom - update to AIP consultation for the Maritime and Aeronautical sectors

On Monday the UK regulator Ofcom published an update to its consultation on Administered Incentive Pricing (AIP) for the Maritime and Aeronautical Sectors.

The proposals include allowing organisations that have a large number of transmitters around the country (like the RNLI) to pay a single fee per radio channel which covers any number of transmitters across the UK.

Ofcom say the RNLI may see its charges fall as a result of our proposal to offer a single, lower cost licence for multiple users.

This consultation impacts differents parts of the radio spectrum including 23cm.

The consultation which closes on 30 October can be found at: http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/aip/
