Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This short legal instrument cancels (revokes) an old technical rule from 2001 about how datacasting transmitter licences were allocated.

What it does:

Removes the Radiocommunications (Datacasting Transmitter Licence Allocation) Determination 2001 from the rulebook
Takes effect automatically the day after it is registered on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments

What is datacasting? Datacasting is digital broadcasting of content other than standard television or radio programs—things like data services, text, or other digital information transmitted over broadcast spectrum.

Who it affects: Primarily the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), which manages radiofrequency spectrum. 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 This is largely administrative cleanup of outdated technical allocation procedures.
