Self Provision

The Self-Provided External Telecommunication System (SPETS) licence
is issued to a company or an organisation for the establishment of its own
external circuits for internal communications. At the end of 1997, 50
SPETS licences were in force.

In January 1997, the Self-Provided External Telecommunication System
(Short Term) licence was introduced to facilitate the short-term use of
telecommunications equipment, such as satellite news-gathering
equipment, for international communication particularly during the period
of the change of sovereignty. Thirty-two licences were issued in 1997.
