  • updating the Temporary Regulations on the Use of Radio Frequencies and adjusting internal regulations;
  • repeal outdated regulations, update definitions, and improve rules for public interest services and restrictive services;
  • Introduce a unified glossary to improve the comprehensibility and clarity of regulations.
