<p>The Government directed Ofcom in December 2010 to revise the fees paid for licences to use spectrum in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands following the auction of licences to use the 800 MHz and 2.6 GHz bands so as to reflect full market value. The statutory instrument making this direction was accompanied by an impact assessment which is available at</p><p>http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/3024/impacts</p><p>That auction was held earlier this year with the licences granted on 1 March. On 10 October 2013 Ofcom published its proposals for revising these spectrum licence fees; the consultation closes on 16 January 2014.</p>
