Titolo: OFCOM UK propone Licenza a Vita

   L'OFCOM, Office of Communications in UK, l'equivalente, piu' o meno, del
nostro Ministero delle Comunicazione, ha presentato oggi una proposta per
l'eliminazione delle Licenze Radiantistiche Cartacee con la sostituzione di
Licenze in forma elettronica e con durata a vita. Cioe' non c'e' piu nemmeno
la tassa di 15 GBP (15 sterline, circa 25 Euro annuali da pagare).
Se la proposta sara' accettata, circa 65.000 radioamatori inglesi avranno la
propria licenza sostituita da quella elettronica e per tutta la vita...
questo puo' dire che potranno operare /M (barrato mobile) quando andranno
"dall'altra parte" ...
Qui riporto la comunicazione appena rilasciata e mi scuso se la lascio in
ingles, non ho tempo ma non vorreine nemmeno fare "errori di traduzione" ...
cio' anche per togliere la pressione sul problema del CW e degli IW sulle HF
...per un po' di giorni ... un nuovo argomento.

Lifetime licences for amateur radio users
Ofcom (Office of Communications - UK) today announced proposals to reduce
the regulatory burden for amateur radio users by replacing the current
paper-based system of licensing, renewed annually, with a new, low-cost
electronic licence for life.
Ofcom is not proposing to remove the need for amateur radio users to hold a
Wireless Telegraphy Act licence. Nor will it will remove any regulation
which safeguards the integrity of radio spectrum used by the amateur radio
community. Rather, it is seeking the right balance between maintaining
sufficient regulatory control to avoid undue interference whilst removing
unnecessary bureaucracy and cost.
Amateur radio is an important and popular hobby. It can provide useful
training for technical careers and can facilitate research into wireless
communications. More than 63,000 people currently hold amateur radio
licences, many of whom communicate with fellow amateurs at home and abroad
using a broad range of technologies.
Ofcom intends to introduce a simpler, low-cost, electronic licensing
process. This would mean:
· amateur radio licences would be valid for life, thereby avoiding the need
for paper-based annual renewals which currently cost most users £15 a year;
and
· licences would only be updated where amendments to licence details were
necessary (for example, changes of name, address or licence level). This
would be facilitated by a free online licensing system.
As part of the new process, Ofcom would:
· provide a web-based licensing service as an alternative to the postal
service;
· issue electronic licences, free of charge, to users of the online
licensing service; and
· continue to offer a postal service for applicants who do not have access
to, or prefer not to use, the internet. This service would incur a fee to
cover administrative costs, although Ofcom will ensure that disabled licence
holders are not disadvantaged as a result.
Ofcom would continue to hold a database of the names and addresses of
amateur radio enthusiasts and users will still need to hold a valid Radio
Amateur Examination Pass Certificate to obtain a licence. Ofcom would also
retain the power to revoke the licence where, for example, a radio amateur
breached the terms of the licence.
The introduction of free licences for life would not alter licensees’ access
rights to spectrum. Ofcom will continue to monitor frequencies and take
action against undue interference wherever appropriate.
The closing date for responses to the public consultation is 18 August 2005.

 Bene.
E' anormale che esistano cose complicate quando possono essere semplici... 
indipendentemente da hobby o non hobby...
