18  Background
 (1) Public mobile telecommunications services operate in spectrum in and adjacent to the 1800 MHz band. The operation of mobile stations that communicate with land stations for the purposes of a public mobile telecommunications service may be authorised by the Cellular Devices Class Licence.
 (2) The ACMA has determined, under section 98 of the Act, that the public telecommunications service (PTS) type of transmitter licence is available to be issued under section 100 of the Act. There are two kinds of PTS transmitter licences available in the 1800 MHz band:
 (a) PMTS Class B, which authorises the use of radiocommunications devices (limited to land stations) in terrestrial systems; and
 (b) PMTS Class C, which authorises the use of radiocommunications devices located on aircraft.
