Agency Enquiry Point
The Enquiry Point, reached on 020 7211 0211, is staffed during working hours by a team of experienced Enquiry Officers who will either answer enquiries themselves, or transfer them to a member of the Agency's licensing or technical staff. Callers with access to a tone-dialling telephone can make use of the 24-hour Voice Manager system, at the same telephone number, which enables them to place orders for the most popular Agency publications, either to be sent out to them by post the following day, or to be faxed to them immediately.
Internet site
http://www.radio.gov.uk
The Agency continues to develop its website, and we are planning a major redesign of the site in 1999, including the introduction of a site-specific search engine. All Agency publications, as well as commissioned reports, appear on the website concurrently with paper publication. There is a new part of the site dealing specifically with spectrum auctions, and we also advertise job vacancies and contracts on the site, as well as full details of our publicity activities. The site provides links to a very wide range of other radio-related organisations.
