Information About

Broadcast License




Licensing is typically performed by Government Agencies , providing a mechanism both for managing the limited resource of radio frequency spectrum and for implementing prevailing Public Policy , such as policies regarding Concentration Of Media Ownership .

Management of technical specifications, such as those implemented in Broadcast Television Systems , is normally undertaken as a part of broadcast licensing in each country.


ECONOMICS


Originally, broadcast licences were issued for only a nominal payment, but work by economist Ronald Coase developed a theory that broadcast licences in a spectrum that was limited had high economic value, which could and should be paid for on the open market. Increasingly, spectrum licences are offered via Spectrum Auction s.
