Dubai Studio City is one of ten business parks in the free zone constituted by Dubai Law No. 15 of 2014; it is licensed by the Dubai Development Authority (DDA) and operated by TECOM Group PJSC. A production licence costs AED 15,000 a year and requires paid-up capital of AED 50,000; a satellite television licence costs AED 25,000–40,000 a year and requires AED 1,000,000. Media activity inside the zone is licensed by the DDA, not by the federal regulator.
