doc.: IEEE /0075r0 Agenda Ofcom Chief on the Future of Spectrum Speech delivered to the ECTA Regulatory Conference, November 29, 2011: “SPECTRUM IN AN AGE OF INNOVATION” Important points –The “command and control” approach to spectrum allocation, granting licenses for government or commercial use in perpetuity, is no longer valid; it does not address public needs or address technology advances –Ofcom taking a new approach in 800 and 2600 MHz bands to avoid the current issue of large commercial interests blocking allocations for “strategic” reasons, with litigation and lobbying –Government alone cannot grant guarantees against interference from adjacent bands; stakeholders can work these issues out –Although international harmonization of spectrum is a long term goal, that process should begin now January 2012 Rich Kennedy, Research In MotionSlide 17
