Find and harmonize additional spectrum to cope with future demand
EU trends - to cope with increased mobile data traffic Main Trends Allocate additional (800MHz, , GHz) spectrum bands for mobile/wireless broadband Liberalize 900/1800/2100 MHz spectrum bands – make licenses technology and service neutral Find and harmonize additional spectrum to cope with future demand Candidate bands: 700MHz , 1.5, 2, , GHz Georgian National Communications Commission 1

SPECTRUM RE-FARMING/ Main Trends
Harmonize 800/900 MHz spectrum allocations with EU norms Liberalize 900/1800/2100 MHz spectrum bands Make technolofy neutral and modify the duration of existing GSM/UMTS licensees (15 years starting from modification date) Ensure access of license holders on continues spectrum blocks in 900/1800 MHz bands (without guardbands) Wait for market development and than allocate GHz band for mobile/wireless services Find ways to make 2.6 GHz spectrum available for mobile/wireless broadband Not to take into consideration unpaired 2.1 GHz, GHz, 850 and450 MHz spectrum holdings when assessing competitiveness of Mobile market players Georgian National Communications Commission
