Capturing the ‘User Requirements’
Capturing the ‘User Requirements’
• The authorisation process should take minutes• The fee should be as low as conceivably possible• Data base information should be made publicly
available• The system should immediately say whether or not
use is permitted at a given location• If the registration is successful then the user should
be given a reference number

Capturing the ‘User Requirements’
Capturing the ‘User Requirements’
• Technical details should be kept to a minimum– actual location should be submitted as just a postcode
or NGR– antenna heights of less than 30 metres not required
