Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument cancels (revokes) the Radiocommunications (Spread Spectrum Devices) Class Licence 2002.

Who it affects: People and businesses operating 'spread spectrum' radio devices—such as certain wireless networking, cordless communications, or data transmission equipment—that were previously legal to use under the 2002 rules without applying for an individual licence.

Why it matters: Once this takes effect, the automatic permission to operate those devices disappears. Users must either stop using the equipment, switch to a different class licence (if available), or apply to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) for an individual apparatus licence. A class licence is a type of 'general permission' under the Radiocommunications Act 1992 that lets multiple people use devices under standard technical conditions without paperwork; removing it forces users onto more formal, potentially costly licensing arrangements.
