By repealing the old *Radiocommunications (Spectrum Designation) Notice No. 1 of 2000*, this instrument removes the previous restrictions on the 27 GHz band. This likely paves the way for new technologies—such as 5G mobile networks or satellite services—to access these frequencies, or allows the band to be managed under different regulatory rules.\n\n**Who it affects**\nPrimarily telecommunications companies, equipment manufacturers, and the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), which manages Australia's airwaves. The note clarifies that a different instrument with a similar name from January 2000 remains in force, ensuring only the specific May 2000 designation is removed."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spectrum-designation-27-ghz-band-repeal-notice-2015","history":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spectrum-designation-27-ghz-band-repeal-notice-2015/history","analysis":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spectrum-designation-27-ghz-band-repeal-notice-2015/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spectrum-designation-27-ghz-band-repeal-notice-2015/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spectrum-designation-27-ghz-band-repeal-notice-2015/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spectrum-designation-27-ghz-band-repeal-notice-2015/documents"}}
