Breaking News: Ship Radio Licensing

[Mike_Martin]

All,

An old subject that has been the subject of much work (by both RA and lately Ofcom) over the last 2 years. The object of the game is to make it easier and less restrictive for the end user to obtain this piece of documentation for radio carrying vessels.

Today Ofcom has published a consultation document in order to get the opinion of “stakeholders” on the results found and the preferred way forward for British vessels. The result will surprise many of those who object to the licence in the first place but hey maybe we weren’t that bad after all.

Please have a look at this [url="http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/src/"]http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/src/ [/url] you can of course make your thoughts known using the response forms.

Hi Mike,

Just had a quick look at the site and it does seem like good news could be just over the horizon. Very sorry indeed to hear your redundancy is still in the offing. Very good luck to you and many thanks for all your advice.

Kind regards

Jerry

Mike hi,

Would love to think it was 'us' shouting about how silly it all is that made a difference - hopefully the operators licence which is the most stupid bit of commitee work will go the same way!
good luck with redundency dosh and a new even more rewarding job - change is good

Well I'm blowed, aetherial common sense may have broken out (or has OFCOM just seen how the Yanks do it)?

I'm sure it is covered in other posts but why has MB become ex ? Shock of this outrageously intelligent act by a Quago ?
