Other Information:
The licence terms of 24/38 GHz spectrum licences obtained via the 1999 Auction were coming to an end starting in 2010. A decision released in March 2006 extended the initial licence terms of these licences. The decision also announced a licensing process available for 24, 28 and 38 GHz spectrum. Issuing these licences will require an annual fee be in place. A consultation was undertaken and the results are being reviewed prior to proceeding with the required stages under the User Fees Act (UFA). The fee is expected to be in place in 2011–12.
The initial public consultation took place in April 2008. It is anticipated that the proposed fee may be reviewed by Parliament under the UFA in 2011–12.

There continues to be a significant increase in the number of times fees are waived due to the ongoing use of an electronic disclosure service. In addition, a number of applicants are seeking re-releases of information already disclosed, thus reducing fees collected even further.
