| In light of the current extraordinary situation, ComReg is acting to release extra radio spectrum in the 700 MHz and the 2.6 GHz bands to allow mobile network operators to cater for the increase in voice and data traffic over their networks, as well as liberalising the use of the currently licensed 2.1 GHz band so that it can be used for 4G and other technologies, rather than just for 3G. This will be a temporary measure in response to the current situation. ComReg has today issued a consultation paper which sets out the conditions for use of this radio spectrum. The purpose of the ComReg paper is to provide guidance to industry and ensure that mobile network operators can utilise this spectrum as quickly as possible. |
