48 Simplified outline of this Part
This Part deals with the procedures to be undertaken in conducting an auction.
The ACMA must register eligible applicants as bidders in the auction. The ACMA must also set the commencement of the auction, and give this information to bidders.
The auction is to be conducted in accordance with the rules in Schedule 1. Bidding is to occur by the auction system made available by the ACMA. However, the auction manager may permit bids to be made by other methods in particular circumstances, and may also allow bids to be made outside rounds in particular circumstances. The auction manager may also restart, cancel or take other specified action in relation to the auction in exceptional circumstances.
During the auction, bidders for a 1800 MHz lot must report any affiliations with each other, or with an existing 1800 MHz licensee, to the ACMA.
