Factors in determining lot configuration

Likely future use of the 700 MHz & 2.5 GHz bands

Harmonised spectrum arrangements

Technical engineering considerations

Consultation with stakeholders

Auction format (CCA)

Population density

Lot configuration scenarios

>The ACMA has prepared a series of lot configuration ‘scenarios’ for discussion with stakeholders

>Scenarios illustrate some of the ways spectrum could be packaged

#TuneUp2011

Scenario 1 – National lots

> A single geographic area covering allof Australia

> 5 MHz paired minimum frequency lots for the 700 MHz band

> 10 MHz paired minimum frequency lots for the 2.5 GHz band

>10 MHz paired minimum frequency lots for the 2.5 GHz band

the population density of Australia- Individual metro areas- Regional eastern Australia areas- Regional Western Australia areas- A single remote area
