Overview of Part 6

If the steps for applications are validly completed, this Part requires the ACMA to register a person as a bidder in the auction.

This Part then outlines the procedures for the auction. The detailed rules for the conduct of the auction are set out in Schedule 1.
This Part also prohibits affiliation between bidders during the auction, and requires bidders to report to the ACMA if they believe an affiliation has occurred.
