minor significance may be given by Ministry of Transport and Communications decree.
All identification and contact information of an enterprise, organisation or association
necessary for the purposes of supervision, as well as a description of the operations, shall be

telecommunications notification or if the operator discontinues operations.
If, for unforeseen reasons, a telecommunications operator or pay-television service provider
can no longer offer the communications service or other service agreed to with the subscriber
and does not follow the procedure for cancelling the agreement, the operator shall promptly
but no later than two weeks prior to termination of services notify the subscriber and Ficora of
the termination of services. At the same time, the telecommunications operator shall notify the
subscriber of the means available to save the subscriber’s messages.
If termination of a communications service referred to in subsection 6 is caused by
disconnection of a network service, the network operator under whose network the service
provider operates shall notify the telecommunications operator providing the service and
Ficora no later than four weeks before disconnection of the network service.

Chapter 3
Network Licence
Section 6
Telecommunications subject to a licence
A licence is required to provide a network service that uses radio frequencies in a digital
terrestrial mass communications network or in a mobile network practising public
telecommunications.
The above provisions shall also apply to a mobile network functioning as a public authority
network and operating in more than one municipality.
By derogation from subsection 1 above, a licence is not required to provide a network
service in a digital terrestrial mass communications network if:
1) the operations last no more than a month and the used television transmitter’s radiation
power does not exceed 50 watt; or
2) the television transmitter’s radiation power is so low, considering the location where it
will be used, that its operation will only extend to a limited area.
