RADIO LAW: EUROPEAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDS NEW SHARED
SPECTRUM PLAN
The European Commission has unveiled plans to deal with the
exponential growth in mobile and wireless data traffic.
This, by enabling wireless technologies, including
broadband, to share the use of the radio spectrum with other
services.
The European Commission notes that with new technologies it
is possible to share radio spectrum among several users such
as internet providers or use the spectrum available between
TV frequencies for other purposes.
The Commission says that national spectrum regulation often
does not reflect the new technical possibilities, leaving
mobile and broadband users at risk of poor service as demand
grows. It also prevents a single market for investment in
such communications growth. Because of this the Commission
believes that a coordinated European approach to sharing
spectrum will lead to greater mobile network capacity,
cheaper wireless broadband, and new markets such as tradable
secondary rights for a given spectrum allocation.
The proposal is 12 pages long and does not seem to exclude
any service from the possibility of sharing spectrum with
another. What impact this proposal might eventually have on
amateur radio operations across Europe is at this point
unknown. You can download the proposal in PDF format at
