13  Applying allocation limits during bidding—assume all bids successful

 (1) In applying section 12 at a time during an auction to determine whether a bid, or a number of lots entered in the auction system during the pre‑bidding round of the primary stage of the auction, would result in a person exceeding the allocation limit in an area, assume that each bidder will be allocated the lots described in column 2 of the item of the following table applicable to that time in the auction (and, as a result, will become authorised by spectrum licences to use the lot bandwidth (expressed in MHz) and area of those lots).

 

| Item | Column 1 Time in auction | Column 2 Assume that the bidder will be issued a spectrum licence for the lot bandwidth (expressed in MHz) and area of the following lots: | | 1 | the pre‑bidding round of the primary stage of the 3.7 GHz auction | all lots the bidder enters in the auction system under paragraph 101(1)(a) | | 2 | a clock round in the primary stage of the 3.7 GHz auction | all lots the bidder bids for in the clock round | | 3 | a round in the secondary stage (if any), of the 3.7 GHz auction | (a) all lots the bidder bids for in the round; and<br>(b) all lots allocated to the bidder in the primary stage of the auction | | 4 | the pre‑bidding round of the primary stage of the 3.4 GHz auction | all lots the bidder enters in the auction system under paragraph 101(1)(a) | | 5 | a clock round in the primary stage of the 3.4 GHz auction | all lots the bidder bids for in the clock round (other than a lot of the product known as Regional WA Central Middle (see item 34 of Schedule 2 to the marketing plan)) | | 6 | a round in the secondary stage (if any), of the 3.4 GHz auction | (a) all lots the bidder bids for in the round (other than a lot of the product known as Regional WA Central Middle (see item 34 of Schedule 2 to the marketing plan)); and<br>(b) all lots allocated to the bidder in the primary stage of the auction (other than a lot of the product known as Regional WA Central Middle) |

Note 1: Lots allocated in the primary stage or secondary stage (if any) of the 3.7 GHz auction are taken into account after the end of the 3.7 GHz auction by subparagraph 12(4)(b)(ii).

Note 2: The effect of this section is modified during the processing of bids: see subsection 108(3).

 (2) To avoid doubt, leftover lots are disregarded in applying subsection (1).
