Users must either stop using the equipment, switch to a different class licence (if available), or apply to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) for an individual apparatus licence. A **class licence** is a type of 'general permission' under the *Radiocommunications Act 1992* that lets multiple people use devices under standard technical conditions without paperwork; removing it forces users onto more formal, potentially costly licensing arrangements."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spread-spectrum-devices-class-licence-revocation-2005","history":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spread-spectrum-devices-class-licence-revocation-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spread-spectrum-devices-class-licence-revocation-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spread-spectrum-devices-class-licence-revocation-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spread-spectrum-devices-class-licence-revocation-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-spread-spectrum-devices-class-licence-revocation-2005/documents"}}
