A bulletin board service (BBS) which only provides an information service does not require a licence. However, if the scope of the service is expanded to include messaging or electronic mail capability and the service is offered generally to the public, a licence is required.
The appropriate licence for the provision of telecommunication services to the public over the public telecommunications networks is the Public Non-exclusive Telecommunications Service (PNETS) licence.
The PNETS licences contain conditions which allow the TA to ensure that licensees conform to the appropriate standards of behaviour and a breach of licence conditions can result in pecuniary penalties and withdrawal of licence.
For enquiries, please contact Controller of Telecommunications (Competitive Services) on tel 2961 6654 and fax: 2803 5112
The detailed statement by TA is available on application to the Office of the Telecommunications Authority and is accessible on OFTA's electronic bulletin board on tel 2834 0119.
