Regulatory Summary – European Union January 2012 Regulatory Summary – European Union ETSI EN 300 328 v1.8.0 EN 301 893 v1.7.1 Ofcom Ofcom Chief Executive Spectrum Policy speech EC Study: “Perspectives on the value of shared spectrum” Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

January 2012 EN 300 328 v1.8.0 ERM TG11 has completed work on the TCAM mandated sharing rules Last minute effort by industrial group to add a “coexistence manager” failed A person who determines when sharing can be turned off Required consensus for adoption Now must be approved by member states Process could complete this year New WI will start in May Improve sharing mechanisms, a.k.a. adaptivity Improve test plans Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

January 2012 EN 301 893 v1.7.1 While updating the specification to fix issues, adaptivity has been added based on suggestion from commenter Similar to sharing rules added to EN 300 328 Approval process simpler than EN 300 328 Began as editorial changes Should complete by end of 2012 Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

Ofcom Chief on the Future of Spectrum January 2012 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and control” approach to spectrum allocation, granting licenses for government or commercial use in perpetuity, is no longer valid; it does not address public needs or address technology advances Ofcom taking a new approach in 800 and 2600 MHz bands to avoid the current issue of large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 Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion
