Results of Appeal for Opinions on Draft Partial Revision of Examination Standards related to Radio Act

1.Outline

  The “Action Plan for Frequency Reallocation” (revised version, September 2011) states that the 950MHz band voice STL/TTL (958~960MHz) “will be switched over to the M band frequency (6570~6870MHz) or the N band frequency (7425~7750MHz) by November 30, 2015 taking into account the full-scale introduction of the 900MHz band mobile radiocommunication system, the current state of its use and the expiry date of licenses of radio stations. However, in a case where the switch over to the M band or N band is difficult, the MIC shall strive to switch over to the 60MHz band and 160MHz band frequencies” and that the video STL/TTL/TSL (A band (3456~3600MHz)) “shall be switched over to other microwave bands for broadcasting by November 30, 2012.” Therefore, it is not expected that a new application for establishment concerning said radio stations will be made so that each provision in the examination standards related to the Radio Act will be deleted.
  In addition, related provisions in the examination standards related to the Radio Act will be deleted along with the full-scale switch over to terrestrial digital broadcasting.
