9  In-band interference
 (1) In-band interference caused to a radiocommunications receiver operated under a spectrum licence in the 850/900 MHz band by a radiocommunications transmitter operated under an adjacent spectrum licence, is managed by:
(a) imposing the core conditions in section 66 of the Act on each spectrum licence; and
(b) the device boundary criteria and deployment constraints specified in the Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference — 850/900 MHz Band) Determination 2021.
 (2)  In-band interference caused to a radiocommunications receiver operated under a spectrum licence in the 850/900 MHz band by:
(a) a radiocommunications transmitter operated under an apparatus licence issued on or after 18 June 2013, in the 825 MHz to 845 MHz and 870 MHz to 890 MHz frequency bands; or
(b) a radiocommunications transmitter operated under an apparatus licence, issued after the commencement of the Radiocommunications Spectrum Marketing Plan (850/900 MHz Band) 2021, in the 814 MHz to 825 MHz, 859 MHz to 915 MHz and 935 MHz to 960 MHz frequency bands;
  is managed as if the transmitter were operated under a spectrum licence. The device boundary criteria mentioned in paragraph 9(1)(b) are taken to be applicable to an apparatus-licensed radiocommunications transmitter mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b). Spectrum licensed receivers should be afforded the same level of in-band protection from new apparatus-licensed radiocommunications transmitters as they would be afforded from radiocommunications transmitters operated under an adjacent spectrum licence.
 (3) The device boundary criteria mentioned in paragraph 9(1)(b) incorporate emission limits that provide protection from in-band interference in the geographic area of a spectrum licence.
