SCHEDULE
Sections 6B and 89DA
EXAMPLES OF THE OPERATION OF SECTIONS 6B AND 89DA
(RETRANSMISSION PERMITS)
In these examples, a line is a telegraph line and an arrow indicates the
transmission along a line of a program broadcast or transmitted by the Radio
Station. The radio licence service area boundary is the boundary of the
service area of the licence held by the Radio Station.
EXAMPLE No. 1 Notes: The Radio Station does not need a retransmission permit
for line 1 because the transmissions along line 1 terminate within the licence
service area. Notes: The Radio Station does not need a retransmission permit
for line 2 either; although the line travels outside the licence service area,
the transmissions along the line terminate within the licence service area.
EXAMPLE No. 2 Notes: The Radio Station needs a retransmission permit for line
1 because the transmissions along the line terminate outside the licence
service area. Notes: The Radio Station may obtain a retransmission permit that
authorises the transmissions that will be made along lines 2, 3 and 4 by TAB
Headquarters: see paragraph 89DA (5) (c). Notes: If the Radio Station does not
obtain a retransmission permit for lines 2, 3 and 4, TAB Headquarters will
need to obtain a permit for those lines. Notes: The one permit may be obtained
for a number of lines; the lines need not be individually identified but may
be described as a class. A retransmission permit granted to the Radio Station
(see paragraph 89DA (5) (c)) or TAB Headquarters (see paragraph 89DA (5) (b))
might authorise TAB Headquarters to use lines to transmit programs to "TAB
Shops in NSW".
EXAMPLE No. 3 Notes: Retransmission permits are not required for lines 1 or 3
because the transmissions along these lines terminate within the licence
service area. Notes: A retransmission permit is required for line 2. Notes:
The Radio Station may obtain a retransmission permit that authorises the
transmissions that will be made along line 2 (subsection 89DA (6)). Notes: If
the Radio Station does not obtain a retransmission permit for line 2, the Bank
Head Office will need to obtain a permit for that line.
EXAMPLE No. 4 Notes: The Radio Station does not need a retransmission permit
for line 1 because transmissions along the line terminate within the licence
service area. Notes: Retransmission permits are not required for lines 2, 3, 4
and 5 because they are being used in the course of a telephone call between
the Motel and the caller (see paragraph 6B (2) (d)).
