All older info deleted.

The former Telecommunication Authority of Kiribati has a new change of name under the new ACT and the new name is now Communications Commission of Kiribati.

They have made it somewhat easier to get a reciprocal license.  Go to: http://www.cck.ki/index.php/amateur-radio-application.html
