Regulatory Changes for the Communications Hub and Network Arrangements

DCC is consulting on its proposals for the scope of regulatory changes required for the Communications Hubs and Network (CH&N) Programme. The consultation closes at 17:00 on Wednesday 15 March 2023.

The Communications Hubs and Networks Programme (CH&N) aims to deliver future-proof Communications Hubs & Networks with an efficient supply chain and a targeted longevity of at least 15 years, introducing new Communications Hubs (CHs) which use the newer 4G network.

DCC has undertaken an initial assessment of the regulatory changes that will be required for the new 4G CH service, and is consulting with stakeholders on this assessment.

This consultation closes at 17:00 on Wednesday 15 March 2023. Please email your response to consultations@smartdcc.co.uk.
