Licences for the Channel Islands and Isle of Man

Published: 1 March 2024

The use of spectrum in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man is governed by UK legislation that has been extended to Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man.

The licensing of spectrum, in the UK and in these Crown Dependencies, is carried out by the Ofcom, by virtue of the powers given to it by the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 (WTA) and the Communications Act 2003, as and to the extent that these Acts are extended to the respective islands.

In addition, Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) between the UK and other countries set out coordination criteria for the radio spectrum bands in order to reduce the likelihood of interference across borders.

For a number of radio categories including business radio and fixed links, licensing in the Crown Dependencies is managed by Ofcom as a routine process alongside the licensing of such categories in the UK. But for commercial applications, such as mobile cellular and broadband wireless, telecommunications and competition regulation falls to local regulators:

Awarding licences

Anyone wishing to supply commercial radio communications services must first apply to the relevant island regulator. They will consider the application and decide whether or not to consult, and depending on the outcome of that consultation, to hold a competitive award for spectrum.

The regulator will make its recommendation for spectrum licensing to Ofcom. Where Ofcom judges the recommendation to be consistent with its statutory duties, a licence may then be granted subject to payment of the appropriate spectrum fee.

Existing licences

The licences linked from this page are the versions current as at 22 October 2021. Should you need to rely on the current terms of any licence, please contact either Ofcom or the licensee to check whether that licence may have subsequently been superseded by a later version.
