Which approaches to spectrum policy will work best for 5G? That is the question addressed by a European Commission study published today.
Study on Spectrum Assignment in the European Union was written by PolicyTracker together with LS Telcom and VVA. The report covers 5G services aimed at traditional mobile customers as well as services designed for new industrial sectors, the so-called vertical markets.
The study concluded:
- a variety of authorisation¹ and assignment² approaches are needed to unlock new use cases and to achieve the full benefits of 5G
- countries with an investment-friendly approach to spectrum policy exhibited more positive outcomes for consumers
- a consistent approach amongst all EU Member States would bring additional benefits, namely:
- faster access to spectrum
- a more diverse range of operators
- widespread availability of new services over large geographical areas
