摘要
The explosive growth of mobile data services will impact spectrum usage and valuation in the coming years. It will reinforce the interest of mobile operators for both lower frequency and high frequency bands.
This report focuses on three main topics: the outcome of the WRC-07, the digital dividend and the new frequency bands and their associated valuation.
Key Questions
• What were the World Radiocommunication Conference 2007 outcome and the agenda for the next radiocommunication conference in 2011?
• Why is the digital dividend question so important?
• What are the results of the auctions in the USA for the 700 MHz band?
• Which factors affect the value of the spectrum?
• Which frequency bands will be made available in the coming years in Europe, USA and Japan?
• What is the value of new frequency band?
