  • Renewal invoices availability
    2020 was an unprecedented year. It was a difficult time and this has caused some production delays. In order to serve you better, we will postpone the availability of renewal invoices to February 27, 2021. You still have to submit your payment by March 31, 2021, prior to the expiry of your licences.

  • ISED is providing licensees of fixed point-to-point systems access to the Point-to-point fee change preview report. The preview report will permit you to compare the annual fees that you are paying today for each licence with those that you are projected to pay under the proposed new fee model.
