Advisory Guidelines on the Protection of Vulnerable Consumers
These Guidelines serve to better safeguard the interests of vulnerable consumers during face-to-face registrations. These include measures to help telecommunication operators’ frontline staff to identify vulnerable consumers during service sign-up and handle cases of suspected exploitation.
Owners who wish to operate radio equipment on board commercial or privately owned aircraft must apply and obtain an Aircraft Station Licence from IMDA.
IMDA’s amateur station licence facilitates individual access to radio communication systems, promoting community-driven exploration of wireless technologies.
IMDA classifies all Arts Entertainment (AE) including plays, musicals, stand-up comedies, dance performances, art exhibitions including photography exhibitions, performances of music, singing or dancing, and pop/rock concerts.
The Arts Entertainment Classification Code aims to reflect community standards while ensuring that due consideration is given to the artistic, educational or literary merit of the arts performance. The purpose of classification is to protect the young while allowing greater freedom of choice for adults.
The Audiotext Code of Practice which falls under the Class Licence scheme, applies to all providers of audiotext services (voice applications which allow users to enter or retrieve information over the phone), including those which offer chatline services.
All audiotext service providers are automatically class-licensed under the Broadcasting (Class Licence) Notification of the Broadcasting Act 1994 and are required to register with IMDA within 14 days of commencing the service.
