CB radio licencing requirement removed
25 years after CB radio became legal in the UK, the need to licence sets has finally been removed. Ofcom, the regulatory body responsible, deregulated CB radio in the same changes that saw the use of approved (ie CE marked) low-power FM transmitters legalised. These are used to transmit wireless signals from MP3 players and I-pods to car radios. The new rules came into effect on 8 December 2006.
