While it removes the allocation rules for new licences, any existing licences issued under the 2001 rules remain valid. This is largely administrative cleanup of outdated technical allocation procedures."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-datacasting-transmitter-licence-allocation-revocation-determination-2012","history":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-datacasting-transmitter-licence-allocation-revocation-determination-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-datacasting-transmitter-licence-allocation-revocation-determination-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-datacasting-transmitter-licence-allocation-revocation-determination-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-datacasting-transmitter-licence-allocation-revocation-determination-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-datacasting-transmitter-licence-allocation-revocation-determination-2012/documents"}}
