Ireland - Regulation and Spectrum - History
08.01.2008
In March 2007 the Broadcast (Amendment) Act was passed into law. This makes provision for the licensing of sound broadcast multiplexes to RTÉ and to the commercial sector. RTÉ expect to make an application for a national multiplex before November 2007. The commercial sector will take a little longer, as their regulatory body, the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland; do not intend to consider regulation until mid 2008.
