15  Background
  TOB services are generally licensed in accordance with the frequency assignment criteria set out in RALI FX 21. RALI FX 21 provides information on frequency coordination and licensing arrangements for TOB services in the 1980 MHz to 2110 MHz and 2170 MHz to 2300 MHz frequency bands. Under the Radiocommunications (Mobile-Satellite Service) (1980-2010 MHz and 2170-2200 MHz) Frequency Band Plan 2022, existing TOB services in certain circumstances are required to cease operation in the 1980 MHz to 2010 MHz and 2170 MHz to 2200 MHz frequency bands by 1 March 2026 in metropolitan areas and other designated areas, and by 1 March 2024 elsewhere.
