11  Issue of licence
 (1) If a licence is allocated to a post-auction applicant, the ACMA must issue the licence to the applicant.
 (2) Subject to subclauses (3) and (4), if a licence is issued in accordance with this clause, it must specify that it comes into force on the day stated in the applicant's completed post-auction application form (proposed commencement day).
 (3) Subject to subclause (4), if a licence is issued in accordance with this clause after the proposed commencement day, it must specify that it comes into force on the day it is issued.
Note: Under subsection 65(1) of the Act, a spectrum licence comes into force on the day on which it is issued or on such later day as specified in the licence.  A licence will not specify a day earlier than the date it was issued.
