Telecommunications Act Article 48
The MOTC shall regulate radio frequency, power, mode of transmission, radio station identification signals and call signs, and other radio wave related matters. Permission from the MOTC must be obtained for operation or alteration of radio wave related matters. The MOTC shall enact regulations governing the planning and allocation of radio frequency, application procedures, principles of assignment, termination of approval, use administration of radio frequency, handling of interference the standard definition of interference and regulations related to the supervision of radio waves.In order to effectively utilize the resources of radio waves, MOTC shall mandate the term of utilization of frequency, and establish a fee schedule to collect usage fees from radio frequency users.For overall development of telecommunications and information, the MOTC shall conduct periodic reviews to ensure the harmony and effectiveness of the common usage of frequencies. If necessary, the MOTC may adjust frequencies in use or request facilities upgrade by enterprises or users. Such adjustments or requests shall not be refused, nor shall compensation be demanded. However, appropriate compensation shall be paid to an amateur radio user for an actual loss incurred as a result of an adjustment in frequency or upgrade in facilities, which are made in accordance with instructions from the MOTC. The MOTC shall consult with the Ministry of National Defense to adjust military communications.Regulations governing radiation emitted from industrial, scientific, medical or other electrical machinery or equipment shall be enacted by the MOTC, in consultation with competent authorities in charge of the relevant industries.The stipulation of auction or open tendering of Article 94 of the Budget Law is not applicable to the following allocations of frequencies:1. the radio frequencies for the military, police, navigational, ships, amateur radio, government telecommunications, industrial, scientific, medical, low power radio frequency devices, academic experiment, emergency save and rescue, and other benevolent or public uses;2. the radio frequencies for mobile telecommunications networks, satellite telecommunications networks, radio broadcast stations or TV stations whose operation are based on the utilization of specific radio frequencies, which shall be designated at the time of issuance of operation permit or franchise license, or networks thereof could not function; and any radio frequency increased for further improvement of quality of local telecommunications; or3. the radio frequencies, which could be used repeatedly under certain conditions of use, for wireless local loop of fixed networks, satellite links or wireless microwaves links.
中文原文 電信法第48條
無線電頻率、電功率、發射方式及電臺識別呼號等有關電波監理業務，由交通部統籌管理，非經交通部核准，不得使用或變更；無線電頻率之規劃分配、申請方式、指配原則、核准之廢止、使用管理、干擾處理及干擾認定標準等電波監理業務之辦法，由交通部定之。
交通部為有效運用電波資源，對於無線電頻率使用者，應訂定頻率使用期限，並得收取使用費；其收費基準，由交通部定之。
交通部為整體電信及資訊發展之需要，應對頻率和諧有效共用定期檢討，必要時並得調整使用頻率或要求更新設備，業者及使用者不得拒絕或請求補償。
但業餘無線電使用者經交通部要求調整使用頻率並更新設備致發生實際損失者，應付與相當之補償；軍用通信之調整，由交通部會商國防部處理之。
工業、科學、醫療及其他具有電波輻射性電機、器材之設置、使用及有關輻射之辦法，由交通部會商有關目的事業主管機關定之。
下列無線電頻率之核配，不適用預算法第九十四條所定拍賣或招標之規定：
一、軍用、警用、導航、船舶、業餘無線電、公設專用電信、工業、科學、醫療、低功率電波輻射性電機、學術實驗、急難救助及其他供公益或公共用途使用之無線電頻率。
二、行動通信網路、衛星通信網路、無線廣播電臺或無線電視電臺等以特定無線電頻率之應用為基礎者，其經營許可執照或特許執照依法核發時，不一併核配其網路即不能運作之無線電頻率，及為改善上述通信網路區域性通信品質所須增加之無線電頻率。
三、固定通信網路無線區域用戶迴路、衛星鏈路或微波鏈路等，依一定使用條件可重覆使用之無線電頻率。
