Spectrum Management
Spectrum Management is moving from “Command & Control” approach to Tradability and LiberalisationFrequency regulation is changing to meet actual market developmentsExact and up-to-date information about spectrum usage and allocation is crucial for the industry
Page 20
Command & Control Approach
The Radio Spectrum is owned by the StateFrequency assignments are according to the National Frequency Table established by the Regulatory BodyNational Frequency Table is generally based on the ITU Radio Regulations (RR)
Page 21
Command & Control approach (cont’d)
Networks radio technologies are generally decided by the Regulatory Body: GSM, UMTS, WiMAX, etc.Licences are exclusively delivered by the Regulatory BodyLicences are usually valid for a limited period of time.
Page 22
The National Regulatory Body is in charge of administrative and technical issues:
Licence application and processingEMC and EngineeringInternational coordinationLicence issuance and managementSurveillance and MonitoringInspection and enforcementEtc.
Command & Control approach (cont’d)
Page 23
In this case one National Spectrum Management and Monitoring System is requiredThis system is usually based on ITU approach and recommendations.
Command & Control approach (cont’d)
Page 24
Market Approach: Trading & Liberalisation
Portions of the Radio Spectrum are owned by different players: public and private sectorsSpectrum is sold, leased, auctioned, etc.Spectrum should be free of technology, policy and usage constraints as far as possible
Page 25
Market Approach: Trading & Liberalisation
It should be simple and transparent for licence holders to change the ownership and use of spectrumRights of spectrum users should be clearly defined and users should feel comfortable that they will not be changed without good cause.
Page 26
Market Approach: Empowering spectrum users
Allowing licensees to buy and sell (and lease and hire) some or all of their rights of spectrum useAllowing licensees to change the use they make of the spectrum they hold (provided that this does not cause harmful interference to other users)
Page 27
Market Approach: Empowering spectrum users (cont’d)
Making additional spectrum available to users on a technology and application neutral basis (but in a way that is compatible with existing assignments in neighbouring bands)But all under the watchful eye of the Regulatory body, who will continue to protect users from harmful interference, and ensure that national and international obligations are fulfilled.
Page 28
Market Approach: Challenges
Keep interference under controlEnsure competition is not harmed by the actions of a fewPersuade regional neighbouring countries to be similarly flexibleIncrease the benefits for all.
Page 29
Market Approach: Benefits
More opportunity for competition and innovationSpectrum gravitates to its most profitable and productive useLower prices, new and better products, sooner
Page 30
Market Approach: Benefits (cont’d)
Greater flexibilityReduces barriers to entry in spectrum – using servicesLower business riskPermits speedier innovation without lengthy allocation and assignment process.
Page 31
Market Approach: Objections
Pressure on interferenceHoarding, speculation and abuse of market powerPressure from the industryNon-discrimination and equal treatment of market playersFragmentationRegulatory mistakesConflict with international harmonisation.
Page 32
In this case, as well, one National Spectrum Management and Monitoring System, managed by the Regulatory Body, is requiredA system usually based on ITU approach and recommendationsIn addition, there is also a need of some management and monitoring by the Spectrum portions “owners”.
Market Approach: Spectrum Management & Monitoring
Page 33
Regulations need to be adapted to authorise such cases, such as providing for more flexibility, authorising more licence exempt bands and services, etc.Cooperation frameworks need to be put in place between the National Regulator and the Spectrum “Private” ownersElectromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Models need to be reviewed accordinglySpecific Monitoring equipment need to be available to accomplish required targets within this specific environmentMonitoring equipment need to evolve and adapt with new technologies: Ultra-wideband (UWB), Software Defined Radios (SDR), Cognitive radios, etc.
Market Approach: Spectrum Management & Monitoring (cont’d)
Page 34
Conclusion
Spectrum Management is moving from “Command & Control” approach to Tradability and LiberalisationAccess conditions for present users need to be freed from unnecessary regulatory barriers whereas the access to the spectrum for new and innovative services needs to be facilitatedInternational experience (e.g., USA, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Norway, Guatemala, Honduras) shows liberalisation releases resources and does not lead to interference disasters
Page 35
Conclusion (cont’d)
The process takes time, as entrepreneurs have to bring together spectrum, new technology and other assetsBenefits grow as liberalisation takes offIt is necessary to adapt the regulatory framework in order to reflect the strategic decisions
Page 36
Conclusion (cont’d)
Spectrum management reform would be a structural change which should lower costs, increase choice, and increase the dynamics in the communications sectorSpectrum Trading may provide more liberalized Spectrum Management & MonitoringSpectrum Management & Monitoring have to evolve continuously to adapt.
