The United Kingdom has made regulations restricting the use of videosenders for the purposes of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1967, s. 7. The regulations restrict the importation, manufacture, sale, hire offer and advertisement of videosenders and also prohibit having such a sender in one's custody or control. However, the restriction on imports does not apply to imports from within the European Union or the European Economic Area. The purpose is to prevent interference from videosenders which might affect other services or equipment.
