This Practice Note explains and outlines the legal and regulatory framework that applies to mobile satellite services (MSS) in the UK at present. The principal categories of communications satellite service are as follows: the MSS the fixed satellite service the broadcast satellite service Broadly, in general, both within the UK and internationally, the regimes for these services are alike when it comes to securing spectrum access (even though they may operate in distinct spectrum bands) as well as when applying for a launch and operations licence. However, they can materially diverge regarding the need for associated terrestrial licences and in particular certain elements of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) filing processes and relevant obligations under the ITU Radio Regulations. An MSS network may additionally need spectrum for communications between an Earth station and a satellite, and vice versa (feeder links), required for operation. This Practice Note concentrates specifically on UK law and regulation affecting MSS at UK level. For further detail on...

This Practice Note outlines the meaning of information and communication technology (ICT), how organisations can gain from integrating it, and the potential risks tied to its use. It also offers practical guidance on how to formulate, draft and implement a strategic ICT plan. For guidance on the use of artificial intelligence (AI), see subtopic: Artificial intelligence compliance. What is ICT? Information and communication technology (ICT) is an umbrella term for all technical means used to manage information and support communication. It spans tools such as computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems and mobile phones, together with the many services and applications linked to them. Many regard the significance of ICT not as the technology itself but as its ability to expand access to information and communication. Benefits of ICT With tighter budgets and growing economic and environmental pressures, organisations may find they need to invest in and deploy ICT to streamline processes and enhance efficiency. Implementing ICT can be crucial to an organisation’s economic...

Part 5 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 (MCAA 2009) Confers a power, across most UK waters, to designate marine conservation zones (MCZs) and in practice, displaces the former power under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to establish Marine Nature Reserves. This note specifically concentrates on MCZs in England and Wales. For broader guidance on MCAA 2009, see Practice Note: Marine planning under Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. MCZs also set up protected marine sites and sit alongside other designations within the marine protected areas network, including Special Areas of Conservation, Special Protected Areas and Marine Protected Areas. For further detail on the marine protected areas network, see Practice Note: Marine protected areas. For information on changes introduced by the Fisheries Act 2020, see Practice Note: Fisheries Act 2020–snapshot—Increased research and conservation...
