Community Audio Distribution Systems Consultation

This statement sets out our policy in relation to Community Audio Distribution Systems (CADS) in light of the responses received to our recent consultation on this subject.

Given the widespread support for the proposal, and our belief that CADS and Citizens’ Band (CB) Radio users should be able to co-exist successfully in the relevant spectrum band, Ofcom intends to implement a permanent scheme for CADS as soon as is practicable.
