Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in Radiocommunications (Spectrum Licence Allocation – Multi-band Auction) Determination 2017.
This Part deals with the procedures to be undertaken after conducting the auction.
After the winning bidder for each lot has been identified, the ACMA must notify the unsuccessful bidders and applicants who were not registered as bidders that their confidentiality obligations have ended. The ACMA must give each winning bidder for a 1800 MHz lot information about the other winning bidders for 1800 MHz lots. Each winning bidder for a 1800 MHz lot must make a statement about whether it is affiliated with any other winning bidder for a 1800 MHz lot or an existing 1800 MHz licensee.
If there is such an affiliation, and if issuing spectrum licences to the winning bidders would breach the allocation limits, the ACMA must not issue spectrum licences to the winning bidders for all the lots won. Instead, the ACMA must only issue spectrum licences that would not result in a breach of the allocation limits.
A winning bidder must pay the balance of the winning price for a licence; this is the winning price for the licence less any deposit paid. If a winning bidder fails to pay the balance of the winning price for a licence, the winning bidder is not entitled to be issued the licence.
