What counts in legal terms though - a notice on the RSGB's website or
the actual document bearing OFCOM's "stamp"?
I'd say the Notice of Variation itself is what determines what is allowed.
I'd also say that the person who knocked up the web application service
made an error and the "Valid From" date should have been set, in the
software that processes the applications, to be :
"January 1st 2013 or date of application,
whichever is the latest".
Nonetheless, the legal document called a Notice of Variation is quite
clear, and nowhere in the W/T act does it say you must take notice of a
few lines of text on the RSGB's website.
