(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends further the Communications (Isle of Man) Order 2003 (S.I.2003/3198) (the 2003 Order), which extended, in part, to the Isle of Man the Office of Communications Act 2002 and the Communications Act 2003 (the 2003 Act).

The amendment is necessary because of an amendment to the Office of Communications Act 2002 (Commencement No.3) and Communications Act 2003 (Commencement No. 2) Order 2003 (S.I.2003/3142/c. 125) made by the Office of Communications Act 2002 (Commencement No. 3) and Communications Act 2003 (Commencement No. 2) (Amendment) Order 2004 (S.I.2004/545/c.21).

By reason of the amendment to the Commencement Order, the date upon which section 278 and consequent provisions in sections 351, 353 and Schedule 12 of the 2003 Act (extended to the Isle of Man by the 2003 Order) will come into force has been changed.

The 2003 Order was previously amended by the Broadcasting and Communications (Isle of Man) Order 2004 (S.I.2004/309).
