Schedule 2
SCHEDULE 7 FORMULA FOR CALCULATING THE APPROPRIATE SUM FOR THE POINT TO POINT FIXED LINKS LICENCE
PART 1 FORMULA
1. In this Schedule—
(a) “the appropriate sum” means the amount in pounds sterling, which is payable for a Point to Point Fixed LinksLicence, calculated in accordance with the formula set out in paragraph 2; and
(b) “Availability” means the minimum percentage of time that the fixed link is capable of functioning as set out in the licensee’s licence.
2. The formula is AS = Sp x Bwf x Bf x Plf x Avf where—
“AS” means the appropriate sum;
“Avf” means the Availability Factor, being the number in Column 2 of the table set out in Part 5 as determined by the Availability (in per cent) as set out in Column 1 of that table;
“Bf” means the Band Factor, being the number in Column 2 of the table set out in Part 2 as determined by the range of frequency band (in GHz), if any, of a fixed link set out in Column 1 of that table in which the licensee’s band falls as declared by the licensee on application for a licence;
“Bwf” means the Bandwidth Factor, subject to paragraph 3, being the number corresponding to the bandwidth (in MHz) of a co-ordinated bi-directional fixed link (or a part thereof) as declared by the licensee on application for a licence;
“ MPL ” means the Minimum Path Length, being the number corresponding to the applicable (depending on the amount of data that can be transmitted over the bandwidth (“the data rate”) or over the channel width for analogue systems) length of the path (in kilometres) specified in Columns 2 and 3 of tables 1 or 2 set out in Part 4 as determined by the range of frequency band (in GHz), if any, of a fixed link set out in Column 1 of those respective tables in which the licensee’s band falls as declared by the licensee on application for a licence;
“ PL ” means the Path Length, being the number corresponding to the distance (in kilometres) between two fixed points of the link as declared by the licensee on application for a licence;
“Plf” means the Path Length Factor, being the number in Column 2 of the table set out in Part 3 as determined by the relationship between the PL and the MPL as set out in Column 1 of that table; and
“Sp” means the Spectrum Price, being a fixed sum of £88 per 2 x 1 MHz bandwidth for each co-ordinated bi-directional fixed link.
3. Where the number of the bandwidth (in MHz) of a co-ordinated bi-directional fixed link (or a part thereof) as set out in the licensee’s licence is less than 1.0, the number of the Bandwidth Factor shall be 1.0.

Schedule 2
SCHEDULE 8 FEES PAYABLE FOR THE SATELLITE (AIRCRAFT EARTH STATION), (EARTH STATION NETWORK), (EARTH STATION ON BOARD VESSEL), (PERMANENT EARTH STATION) AND (TRANSPORTABLE EARTH STATION) LICENCES
PART 1 FORMULA FOR CALCULATING THE APPROPRIATE SUM FOR THE SATELLITE (AIRCRAFT EARTH STATION), (EARTH STATION NETWORK) AND (EARTH STATION ON BOARD VESSEL) LICENCES
4. In this Part, “the appropriate sum” means the amount in pounds sterling, which is payable for a Satellite (Aircraft Earth Station), (Earth StationNetwork) and (Earth Station on board Vessel) Licence, calculated in accordance with the formula set out in paragraph 2.
5. The formula is—
where—
“AS” means the appropriate sum;
“ n ” means, subject to paragraph 3, the number corresponding to the number of earth station terminals licensed for each network;
“BWn” means the number corresponding to the number of aggregated accessible transmit bandwidth (in MHz) available to each earth station terminal as declared by the licensee on application for a licence;
“MODn” means the Modifier Value of 0.5; and
“Pn” means the number corresponding to the number of the Transmit Peak power (in Watts) appearing at the flange of the network terminal antennas as declared by the licensee on application for a licence.
6. Where the number of earth station terminals licensed in the network is less than 50, the number for “ n ” shall be 50 for each licence.
PART 2 FORMULA FOR CALCULATING THE APPROPRIATE SUM FOR THE SATELLITE (PERMANENT EARTH STATION) LICENCE
7. In this Part, subject to paragraph 3, “the appropriate sum” means the amount in pounds sterling, which is payable for a Satellite (Permanent Earth Station) Licence, calculated in accordance with the formula set out in paragraph 2.
8. The formula is—
where—
“AS” means the appropriate sum;
“i” means the number corresponding to the number of earth station terminals on a site as declared by the licensee on application for a licence;
“ j ” means the number corresponding to the number of satellites as declared by the licensee on application for a licence;
“ k ” means the number corresponding to the number of transmission paths as declared by the licensee on application for a licence;
“BWijk” means the number corresponding to number of the Transmit Authorised bandwidth (in MHz) as declared by the licensee on application for a licence;
“MODijk” means Modifier Value, being the number in Column 2 of the table set out in Part 3 as determined by the range of frequency (in MHz), if any, of the earth station set out in Column 1 of that table in which the licensee’s band falls as declared by the licensee on application for a licence; and
“Pijk” means the number corresponding to the number of the Transmit Peak power (in Watts) at the flange of the antenna of the earth station as declared by the licensee on application for a licence.
9. Where the amount in pounds sterling calculated in accordance with the formula set out in paragraph 2 is less than £500, the appropriate sum shall be £500.
PART 3 MODIFIER VALUE FOR CALCULATING THE APPROPRIATE SUM FOR THE SATELLITE (PERMANENT EARTH STATION) LICENCE
| Column 1: Range of frequency band (fb)(in MHz) | Column 2: Modifier Value |
|---|---|
| 5850 ≤ fb < 7075 | 1 |
| 12500 ≤ fb < 12750 | 0.5 |
| 12750 ≤ fb < 13250 | 1 |
| 13750 ≤ fb < 14250 | 0.5 |

| 17300 ≤ fb < 17700 | 0.5 |
| 17700 ≤ fb < 29500 | 1 |
| 29500 ≤ fb < 30000 | 0.5 |
PART 4 FEE PAYABLE FOR THE SATELLITE (TRANSPORTABLE EARTH STATION) LICENCE
10. The appropriate sum is the amount in pounds sterling, which is payable for each earth station of a Satellite (Transportable Earth Station) Licence, specified in Column 2 of the table as determined by the range of p specified in Column 1 of the table in which the licensee’s network falls.
11. In this Part—
(a) “ OMP ” means the number corresponding to the number of the Operational Maximum Power (in Watts) as declared by the licensee on application for each earth stationlicence;
(b) “p” means the total sum of OMP multiplied by WBW ; and
(c) “ WBW ” means the number corresponding to the number of the widest bandwidth (in MHz) as declared by the licensee on application for a licence.
| Column 1: Range of p | Column 2: Fee (£) per earth station |
|---|---|
| 0 < p ≤ 100 | 200 |
| 100 < p ≤ 2,500 | 1,000 |
| p > 2,500 | 3,000 |
1998 c. 6 ; sections 1, 2 and 6 of the 1998 Act were amended by the Communications Act 2003 (c. 21) , sections 161 and 406 and Schedule 17, paragraphs 145 to 147 and 150.
Sections 1 and 2(2) were extended to the Bailiwick of Guernsey by S.I. 1998/1511 and S.I. 2003/3195 , to the Bailiwick of Jersey by S.I. 1998/1512 and S.I. 2003/3197 , and to the Isle of Man by S.I. 1998/1510 and S.I. 2003/3198 .
Section 403(7) was extended to the Isle of Man by S.I. 2003/3197 . For the Bailiwick of Guernsey, section 403 was substituted by the provision set out in paragraph 95 of Schedule 2 to S.I. 2003/3195 in accordance with Article 6 thereof. For the Bailiwick of Jersey, section 403 was substituted by the provision set out in paragraph 92 of Schedule 2 to S.I. 2003/3197 in accordance with Article 6 thereof.
