The Wireless Telegraphy (Licence Charges for the 2100 MHz Frequency Band) Regulations 2025
The Office of Communications (OFCOM) enacted these Regulations under the authority of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 to establish the specific licence charges payable for utilizing the 2100 MHz paired frequency band.
The regulations detail an initial one-off charge payable in January 2026, set at £622 per kilohertz, and prescribe an annual charge formula effective from October 2026, which adjusts based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation relative to September 2024.
They also offer licensees the option to pay the annual charges in twelve monthly instalments, revoke obsolete 2021 regulations, and ensure continuity for recovering outstanding debts under the old framework.
