UK may free up 900MHz sprectum for mobile broadband
In the UK, Ofcom (the regulatory agency for communications) is giving serious consideration to opening spectrum for the establishment of mobile broadband services. Most startling is that the spectrum will be taken from incumbent wireless operators, and will be open to competitors. Hey FCC, are you watching?
The amount of spectrum to be released should be sufficient to allow three extra operators to access the 900MHz band, Ofcom suggests, greatly increasing the opportunities for chip suppliers and mobile handset and infrastructure makers.
