Proposed changes to the Accredited Persons SchemeThe Communications Alliance Satellite Services Working Group (SSWG) provided a submission to the ACMA’s consultation on the Accredited Persons Scheme. The SSWG is generally supporting the proposed changes and included recommendations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the scheme. In the submission it was noted that some licence types are quite complex in both regulatory and technical terms, and that specialist Accredited Persons would need to ensure that proper coordination needs to be undertaken to minimise the risk of interference between different technologies. New Radiocommunications Equipment RulesNew rules are being introduced by the ACMA to ensure the standards and labelling requirements for radiocommunications equipment under the existing Radiocommunications Act remain enforceable. Communications Alliance provided a submission to the ACMA on the proposed new rules in response to their recent consultation, supporting the proposed approach which has been designed to provide a seamless transition to the new arrangements.
