(2) Without limiting the operation of subsection (1), an allocation system may: (a) provide, whether by means of a tendering process or otherwise, for the grantee of a licence under the allocation system to pay for the grant of the licence; and (b) specify criteria to which the Minister is to have regard in considering whether or not to grant a licence under the allocation system. (3) The Minister may vary or revoke a determination made under subsection (1). (4) The Minister may grant, or refuse to grant, a public mobile licence to an eligible corporation, other than an eligible corporation to which subsection 56(1A) applies, in accordance with a system determined under subsection (1). (5) The Minister must cause a copy of each licence to be laid before each House of the Parliament within 15 sitting days of that House after the licence is granted, but failure to do so does not affect the validity of a licence.
