10  The allocation process
Generally
 (1) The ACMA has divided up the 850/900 MHz band, other than the downshift metropolitan lot and the downshift regional lot, into products described in Schedule 1. Each product is characterised by:
 (a) the region for the product, specified in column 5 of the table in Schedule 1; and
 (b) the two frequency ranges for the product specified in columns 3 and 4 of the table in Schedule 1.
 (2) The number of units of each product that will be available at the auction is set out in column 6 of the table in Schedule 1. A unit of a product is referred to in this instrument as a lot.
Note: However, see subsections (13) to (15) for how many units of the 900 upper major population product and of the 900 upper regional product may be available for bidding during the primary stage or secondary stage.
 (3) Each of the downshift metropolitan lot and the downshift regional lot is also a lot.
 (4) The frequency ranges:
 (a) 824 MHz to 825 MHz; and
 (b) 869 MHz to 870 MHz;
  in the downshift metropolitan area constitute the downshift metropolitan lot.
 (5) The frequency ranges:
 (a) 824 MHz to 825 MHz; and
 (b) 869 MHz to 870 MHz;
  in the downshift regional area constitute the downshift regional lot.
 (6) The lot bandwidth for a lot is:
 (a) for a lot other than the downshift metropolitan lot and the downshift regional lot – 10 MHz: or
 (b) for the downshift metropolitan lot and the downshift regional lot – 2 MHz.
 (7) For the lot of the 900 lower major population product and the lot of the 900 lower regional product:
 (a) 5 MHz of the lot bandwidth is located in the part of the spectrum from 890 MHz to 895 MHz; and
 (b) 5 MHz of the lot bandwidth is located in the part of the spectrum from 935 MHz to 940 MHz.
 (8) For each lot of the 900 upper major population product, and for each lot of the 900 upper regional product:
 (a) 5 MHz of the lot bandwidth is located in the part of the spectrum from 895 MHz to 915 MHz; and
 (b) 5 MHz of the lot bandwidth is located in the corresponding position in the part of the spectrum from 940 MHz to 960 MHz.
 (9) For each lot of the 850 major population product, and for each lot of the 850 regional product:
 (a) 5 MHz of the lot bandwidth is located in the part of the spectrum from 814 MHz to 824 MHz; and
 (b) 5 MHz of the lot bandwidth is located in the corresponding position in the
