4  Frequency range options in assignment rounds
Generally
 (1) Bidding in an assignment round is only open to:
 (a) each bidder who was allocated in the primary stage at least one lot of a product that is the subject of the assignment round; and
 (b) each bidder who was allocated in the secondary stage one lot of a product that is the subject of the assignment round; and
 (c) if the 900 upper major population product is the subject of the assignment round – each set-aside participant; and
 (d) if the 900 upper regional product is the subject of the assignment round – each set-aside participant;
  (assignment bidders).
 (2) For each product, other than a 900 lower product, the auction manager must determine a list of frequency range options available to each assignment bidder so that:
 (a) the frequency ranges included within each option for an assignment bidder are a pair of contiguous frequency ranges, each frequency range corresponding in bandwidth to half of:
 (i) the total size of the lots of the product that the assignment bidder was allocated in the primary stage; and
 (ii) if the assignment bidder was allocated a lot of the product in the secondary stage – the size of that lot; and
 (iii) if the applicant is a set-aside participant and the product is the 900 upper major population product – the size of 1 set-aside lot of the 900 upper major population product; and
 (iv) if the applicant is a set-aside participant and the product is the 900 upper regional product – the size of 1 set-aside lot of the 900 upper regional product; and
 (b) for each option in the list of frequency range options available to an assignment bidder, there exists at least one frequency range option for every other assignment bidder such that:
 (i) each assignment bidder's frequency range complies with paragraph (a); and
 (ii) none of the frequency ranges overlap; and
 (c) subclause (3) is satisfied.
Note: Where a set-aside participant has been allocated a set-aside lot of the 900 upper major population product and a set-aside lot of the 900 upper regional product, a different frequency range may be assigned to each set-aside lot as a result of this Schedule and the assignment bids made.
Example: A set-aside participant is allocated a set-aside lot of the 900 upper major population product and a set-aside lot of the 900 upper regional product, and no other lots of any product. As a result of this Schedule and the assignment bids made:
               (a) the set-aside lot of the 900 upper major population product is assigned the frequency ranges 895 MHz to 900 MHz and 940 MHz to 945 MHz; and
               (b)
