41 Maximum eligibility points and provisional minimum spectrum requirements
(1) The maximum eligibility points that an applicant may specify in its completed eligibility nomination form (or updated eligibility nomination form) is the sum of:
(a) the lot rating for the 850 major population product multiplied by the provisional start demand of the applicant for lots of that product; and
(b) the lot rating for the 850 regional product multiplied by the provisional start demand of the applicant for lots of that product;
(c) the lot rating for the 900 lower major population product multiplied by the provisional start demand of the applicant for lots of that product; and
(d) the lot rating for the 900 lower regional product multiplied by the provisional start demand of the applicant for lots of that product; and
(e) the lot rating for the 900 upper major population product multiplied by the provisional start demand of the applicant for lots of that product; and
(f) the lot rating for the 900 upper regional product multiplied by the provisional start demand of the applicant for lots of that product.
Note: A person’s ability to use eligibility points in the auction is restricted by the allocation limits in sections 13 and 14. See also section 7 of the spectrum licence limits direction.
(2) If, in its completed eligibility nomination form, an applicant has not selected 2 lots as its provisional minimum spectrum requirement for the lots of a product, the applicant is taken to have no provisional minimum spectrum requirement for the lots of that product.
Note 1: An applicant may select a provisional minimum spectrum requirement for the lots of any product, even if the applicant has not specified a provisional start demand for the lots of a product in its eligibility nomination form.
Note 2: There is only 1 lot of each of the 900 lower products, and no provisional minimum spectrum requirement can be selected for these products.
Note 3: A set-aside participant may not select a provisional minimum spectrum requirement for a 900 upper product. See subsection 4(4).
