ENFORCEMENT: HONG KONG TO FINE AND JAIL ILLEGAL CB OPERATORS

Operate a CB radio in Hong Kong without a license or run to much power and you may go to jail. That's the essence of the warning from the Hong Kong's Office of the Telecommunications Authority which has mounted an enforcement operation against the citizens radio operators which suspected of using illegal transmitters.

The telecommunications regulator has already raided the home of an operator identified as Chai Wan. There it seized one transmitter and detained three people for questioning.

Under Hong King law it is unlawful for any person to establish or maintain any means of telecommunications without an appropriate license. If convicted of this kind of an offense he or she is liable to a maximum penalty of a 100,000 Hong Kong Dollar fine and five years in jail.

Hong Kong's Office of the Telecommunications Authority that it intends to enforce the law to ensure proper management of radio spectrum which calls a valuable public resource.
