Ofcom have now published the approach and timetable for renewing:
www.ofcom.org.uk
Seems to be "Ofcom may only refuse an application for renewal of a L-DTPS licence if:
• It appears that the Licensee has failed to comply with any of the conditions included in their licence; or
• We are not satisfied that the Licensee would, if their licence were renewed, provide a service which complied with the conditions to be included in the licence as renewal"
And there is an application fee of £10k apparently, which might be seen as a substantial amount of wonga for an operation that is watched by virtually nobody.
Under the criteria its going to be interesting to see how most of these operations have complied with the licence conditions especially with regards to first run programming, but the news from yesterday sort of muddies the waters a bit now as to what ultimately will happen.
