22. In performing its functions under this Act, the Authority must have regard to —(a)
the social and economic characteristics within Singapore;
(b)
the number of existing broadcasting services and the demand for new broadcasting services;
(c)
the developments in technology;
(d)
the technical restraints relating to the transmission, delivery or reception of broadcasting services;

Separate licence for use of frequency not required
24. Despite anything in the Telecommunications Act 1999, if a licensee is granted a broadcasting licence under this Act and the licence includes the right for the licensee to use any specified frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum or satellite orbits for the broadcast, or the transmission of one or more broadcasting services, then the licensee is not required to obtain any other licence under this Act or the Telecommunications Act 1999 in respect of the use of such frequency or satellite orbits for the period for which that broadcasting licence is in force and for the purposes permitted by that licence.
