On 9 November 2000 the = then=20 Minister for Small Business and E-Commerce, Patricia Hewitt announced a = package=20 of measures for the control of potential interference from the=20 telecommunications systems digital subscriber line (DSL), power line = technology=20 (PLT) and home local area networks (LANs). One of the measures announced = was the=20 adoption of a standard to limit interference from DSL and similar = broadband=20 technologies based on the specification MPT 1570 and to be implemented under section 10 of = the=20 Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949. This announcement is available on the UK Parliament website.

These documents were made = public in=20 August 2001 at the same time as being notified to the European = Commission under=20 the Directive 98/34/EC procedure. If there are no comments from member = states of=20 the Commission within 12 weeks of notification the draft Statutory = Instrument=20 will be placed before Parliament together with the Regulatory Impact = Assessment=20 (RIA). Comments were received from the Commission, a letter explaining the present position was sent out = to=20 contributors on 27 March 2002. The RIA will be available on this website = in due=20 course.

Further information = regarding MPT=20 1570 and potential interference from broadband services can be found in = the informative=20 note on this issue or by contacting the RA by telephone on 020 7211 = 0461 or=20 by e-mail at MPT1570@ra.gsi.gov.uk .=20 A further consultation on the limits for for = frequencies between=20 9 kHz and 150 kHz took place during 2002. A letter explaining the conclusions of the = consultation was sent=20 out to contributors on 6 February 2003, together with a copy of the = revised=20 specification MPT=20 1570 (January 2003). The RA have conducted limited Emissions Tests on some representative low frequency = PLT=20 equipment.

Information on the = intended=20 telecommunication interference procedure can be found here.
