  1. Reading this gives me all warm and fuzzy feelings of safety and compliance enforcement by my local radio communications regulator, the #ACMA ... NOT.

    Nothing quite like letting interference go on for months.

  2. The wheels of the ACMA sure run slowly. But I’m closer to a Freedom of Information request being achieved. More in my radio blog.

  5. An email received by a client from ACMA has this phrase in it:

    This decision has been made by the operation of computer programs.

    We are now trying to decide if this was:
    a) generated by some form of AI/LLM, or
    b) drafted by a committee of public servants following arcane legislative requirements, or
    c) all of the above

    🤔

  6. Commonwealth Bank convinced regulator to delay news it was breaking spam laws until after AGM

    The Commonwealth Bank (CBA) successfully convinced a key regulator to delay telling the public it had been caught…

  7. Due to our youth social media ban stuff in AU, the ACMA has blocked access to ACMA Assist to little humans under 15 years of age as they can't get a digital ID.

  8. Got another spam from another Aussie retailer, this time from Frank Green, who I’ve purchased from before but deliberately opted out of their offers. Yet, here I am, getting spam from them.

    Reported to ACMA.

    In the past year it’s as though Australian retailers collectively decided that they’re just going to add all of their customers to their promo lists, even if they’d already opted out.

    ACMA remakes Amateur Licence Conditions Determination

    In April 2025, we consulted on our proposal to remake the Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (Amateur Licence) Determination 2015.

    We have now made the Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (Amateur Licence) Determination 2025, which will commence on 30 September 2025.

  10. #ACMA Five-year spectrum outlook 2024–29

  11. #Australia “Starlink’s failure to submit the required complaints reports in a timely way hampered the #ACMA in its role of monitoring whether Starlink is meeting its obligations towards consumers.” www.cyberdaily.au/tech/12141-e... communications #policy #law

  12. The regulator in #Australia, the #ACMA, is looking for submissions on updating the Amateur Radio Licence Conditions Determination:

  13. The ACMA has let Australians down in this scenario. Lets be clear, the telco industry is taking advantage of this situation to force customers to purchase new devices when they don't need to.

  14. Just a PSA for Aussie Amateur Radio operators.

    Check the new ACMA Assist portal to see if your *CLASS* License is linked to your account. Contact [email protected] if it is not.

    I created an ACMA Assist Account using MyGovID (which has a different email address to my ACMA contact details), and while I was able to link my apparatus license to my account and update my contact details on that, it appears the class license is still not linked to my account.

  15. W00T new call sign has been approved really quick TNX #ACMA, put in for it Monday this week and approved today, so I have the additional call sign of VK5TUX 🎉

  16. I have just discovered that #ACMA has a page listing all the telephone numbers you can use in Australia for documentation or other fictional uses (books, TV, movies, etc).

  17. Well let’s see how this goes. Have just filed a spam complaint with the AU Communications Authority against a well known Australian outdoor living company.

    They decided that because I have ordered a product in-store and provided an email address for receipt and shipping contact to also add me to their marketing.

    At no point during the transaction was I advised that my email address would be used for marketing nor would I have consented to opting in. I believe under these circumstances there is a case to answer.

    At the least I will be unsubscribed, but I am hoping for a more thorough investigation and some regulatory action for this sort of behaviour.

  18. The Australian Communications Legislation Amendment Bill 2023, seeks to address online misinformation and disinformation. The bill would empower the #ACMA to oversee and regulate content, potentially enabling state control over information and curtailing #FreedomOfExpression.

    This approach undermines the principles of a free and democratic society and could result in preemptive self-#censorship by digital companies.
