EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


Regulation 3 of the Advanced Television Services Regulations 2003 incorrectly defines "wide-screen television service" by reference to a height-width ratio of 16:9. These Regulations correct this so as to refer to a width-height ratio of 16:9.
