  "long_title": "These Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Exemption) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/930, as amended by S.I. 2000/1012; “the 1999 Regulations”). The 1999 Regulations exempt “relevant apparatus” (as defined in regulation 3(1) of the 1999 Regulations) from the requirement to be licensed under section 1(1) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 (c. 49). Regulation 4(2) of the 1999 Regulations excludes certain “relevant apparatus” from the exemption if it provides a telecommunication service by way of business to another person. These Regulations now remove “relevant apparatus” operating in the frequency band 2400.0 to 2483.5 MHz from the exclusion, so that it is exempt from licensing.",
