Dept to take over P.O. functions
PA Wellington The Trade and Industry Department will take over radio frequency management and some other telecommunications advisory and regulatory functions from the Post Office. . Those functions would not be appropriate to the new Telecommunications Corporation, to begin in April next year, said the Acting Postmaster-Gen-eral, Mr Rodger. The most important function to be transferred was radio frequency management, which employs about 150 Post Office staff. The group assigns frequencies, tests and approves radio equipment and controls radio interference. “These functions will in future be performed by a new radiocommunications agency set up under legislation administered by the Trade and Industry Department, but responsible to the Postmaster-Gen-eral,” Mr Rodger said. The form of the agency was still under discussion, but provision would be made to protect staff, he said.
