Referring to my post on “The Spectrum Management Framework”.
The welfare standard need to be further address to ensure competitions between carriers do not become lop sided and cause price increases.
Sorry, wrong paper.
This is awesome!
Wow sounds the like the spectrum bands are in for a major reform.
Thank you for your post on Spectrum Square.
Spectrum Square is a consultation website that informs the department’s ongoing policy development process. The discussion papers posted on Spectrum Square are conversation starters to assist us in identifying and prioritising spectrum policy and management issues that may need to be looked at further. They do not represent final policy proposals.
The discussion paper on Spectrum Square titled ‘Priority Review of Spectrum Band Use’ identifies spectrum bands already under consideration by the ACMA through its ‘Five-year Spectrum Outlook – 2012 – 2016′, and ‘Towards 2020 – Future Spectrum Requirements for Mobile Broadband’.
The discussion paper ‘Priority Review of Spectrum Band Use’ seeks stakeholder views on the bands identified for possible reform, and also asks:
• What other bands do you consider ought to be considered as reform priorities?
• What are the technological and market drivers that require early band review?
• What are the best approaches available to undertake spectrum band reform?
