(section 3)
[1] Schedule 1, definition of PTS licence
substitute
PTS licence means an apparatus licence:
(a) issued for a service that consists of 1 or more stations that are operated for the provision of a public mobile telecommunications service; or
(b) that authorises the operation of 1 or more stations (the licensed stations), where:
(i) the licensed stations communicate with mobile stations; and
(ii) the mobile stations are ordinarily used for or in relation to the supply of a public mobile telecommunications service, but when used in conjunction with the licensed stations, do not involve the use of the mobile stations for or in relation to the supply of a public mobile telecommunications service.
Note Paragraph (b) of the definition of PTS licence recognises that some stations may be used to deliver a carriage service to an end-user’s mobile device, but that service will not be a public mobile telecommunications service within the meaning of the Telecommunications Act 1997.
