Work through the five universal duties every telecoms operator must meet: health and safety, fire safety, employers' liability insurance, equality and data protection.
Step 3 — Meet your telecommunications regulatory duties
Notify Ofcom, comply with the General Conditions, hold the right spectrum licences, meet tiered security duties, maintain lawful-intercept capability and comply with PECR.
