8  Prohibition of mobile phone boosters

       The operation or supply of a mobile phone booster, or the possession of a mobile phone booster for the purpose of its operation or supply, is prohibited for the reasons set out in Schedule 1.
Schedule 1 Reasons for Prohibition
(section 8)

      (1)    The operation or supply of a mobile phone booster, and the possession of a mobile phone booster for the purpose of its operation or supply, are prohibited for the reasons set out below.

      (2)    The integrity of the telecommunications networks by means of which public mobile telecommunications services are supplied is at risk from the operation of mobile phone boosters because mobile phone boosters can substantially interfere with, disrupt or disturb public mobile telecommunication services by jeopardising the quality and coverage of carriage services. This can cause inconvenience to, or loss of business for, mobile phone users.

      (3)    The disruption caused to public mobile telecommunications services by mobile phone boosters can also impede access to emergency call services from mobile phones, which creates a risk to public health and safety.
