10. Encourages governments and regulators to effectively manage the use of frequency
bands by maximizing the available spectrum while ensuring coexistence with other
services in the same or adjacent bands, by:

a. Reserving specific frequency bands for military and satellite use,
b. Giving priority to compensation in the main bands by relocating incumbents
and encouraging spectrum sharing in the event that incumbents are unwilling

to relocate or that compensation cannot take place in time to free up access
to new spectrum for 5G use,
c. Defragmenting operator-owned spectrum bands by providing 80-100MHz of

contiguous spectrum per operator in the primary 5G midbands and around
1GHs per operator in the millimetre wave bands,
d. Eliminating spectrum reserves, which lead to higher prices when supply is
restricted,

e. Issuing permits with strict speed stipulations, and maximising the duration of
permits to increase the life of assets,
f. Managing the efficient auctioning of frequency bands by:

i. Grouping bands into small batches to allow competitive auctioning,
ii. Avoiding sealed tenders and reducing complexity to ensure
transparency,

iii. Facilitating defragmentation by imposing restrictions on bids ;

11. Urges member States to agree on a global 5G fund to help developing countries build
infrastructure and security frameworks, financed with a small government tax on major

service providers;

12. Calls on governments to facilitate the merger of wireless and cable companies by :

a. Reducing government-imposed regulations and procedures for planning,
decision-making and authorization,
b. Minimising unnecessary costs and burdens,

c. Ensuring that the work is done to safe standards, the technology is safe and the
results are ethical, while maintaining equal access for all citizens,
d. Imposing one-time levies on businesses to help fund regulators without
government and industry intervention;

13. Recommends the creation of a commission that would:
a. Help companies assess the benefits of a given merger,

b. Provide an analysis of market conditions,
c. Designate merger professionals, such as intermediaries, to assist in the regulatory
process,
