Radiocomms Bill 2017 on WIA News
#2
Hello Roger,

Thanks for posting the information.

I suppose in the brave new world of greatly intensified spectrum usage we should not be surprised if the powers that be wish to streamline processes in the name of efficiency and facilitation of economic activity, elevation of the social good and all that waffle, but I can't help but wonder if there is a parallel agenda when I see your comment...

"As expected, the Bill will enable the ACMA to delegate any or all of its general licencing functions or powers to an eligible Australian corporation."

Admittedly I haven't read the documentation and it may be that an 'eligible' corporation is defined fairly narrowly (as I would hope). But does it potentially mean we could all be applying for our licenses over the counter at Woolworths? or maybe at the Australia Post shop? Hey, maybe even at McDonalds? Fries with that?

A brave new world indeed.
