| Global Wireless Spectrum Issues: Market Opportunities and Implications
Digital Dividend, Frequency Harmonization, 2.6GHz, Mobile Liberalization, and 700MHz Spectrum in the US This study provides a global perspective on all of the major spectrum initiatives currently under way, and their implications for vendors, regulators and operators. The report also addresses spectrum trading, mobile liberalization, technology neutrality and the latest developments in the satellite bands. It focuses on the UHF band which includes the 700MHz auction in the US and Digital Dividend in Europe, as well as the implications of collocating digital TV services and mobile broadband in Europe and the potential for new mobile operators to enter the US mobile broadband market. The research also examines 3G spectrum activities in India and China, as well as proposed WiMAX bands in Europe. The report covers the two major regions with major activities in the UHF band, the United States and Europe, and details the proposed usage of the UHF band, profiling key players and analyzing potential issues.
