Owners of two-way radio operators in Anguilla are reminded that they must have all sets in their possession licensed on or before the 31st January 2012, in accordance with the Telecommunications (Special Provisions) Act, 2009.

This notice applies to Amateur radio operators; Ferry boat and Ship operators; Aeronautical; Business radio systems (base set or mobile); Marine radios (mobile or coastal); Broadcasting stations, FM and AM (private or public), Television Stations; Fishing boats; or any other two-way radio operations operating in Anguilla.

Equipment, which was in operation last year and is not in working condition now in 2012, must be reported in writing to the Telecommunications Officer. Failure to do so shall result in the owner/operator having to pay the relevant licence fee.

Persons should contact 497-2651, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Communications to have their licence processed before payment can be made at the Inland Revenue Department.

Any person operating a radio which is not licensed is guilty of an offence under the Telecommunications (Special Provisions) Act, 2009 and is liable, where no penalty is expressly provided, on summary conviction to a penalty of EC$50,000.00 or to imprisonment for a term of 12 months or to both.

For two-way radio communications and broadcast equipment to be considered properly licensed, the license certificate must be displayed at the premises or be available to be presented to the Telecommunications Officer upon request.
