3 New Frontiers in Spectrum Licensing 3.1 Introduction: Regulators under pressure Spectrum managers in countries around the globe today face strong pressure to free up more spectrum for broadband wireless network access. Prompted by a sharp and accelerating rise in wireless broadband subscriptions in many countries (see Figure 1), regulators are scrambling to find more spectrum for the wider channels and greater throughput available with advanced wireless technologies such as Long-Term Evolution (LTE).In responding to the need to utilize spectrum for the public good, regulators look to – and act through – the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), where the process of satisfying spectrum requirements for wireless broadband services begins, culminating in frequency allocation decisions at World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRCs). National authorities (governments and/or regulators) then allocate spectrum nationally and license it to network operators. In addition, regulators can deploy flexible licensing options to meet the need for more spectrum, taking advantage of emerging technical solutions for sharing.In the context of the ITU’s framework for spectrum allocation – which is now building toward a WRC in November 2015 – regulators and telecommunication equipment manufacturers and network operators are exploring ways to accommodate new broadband spectrum access while not harming incumbent services. Along with this, in an effort to find solutions to share existing spectrum, some policy-makers at the national level are now exploring new approaches to spectrum licensing. As a result, some old certainties and assignment methods that were based on clear lines between licensed and licence-exempt frameworks are beginning to blur – with potentially uncertain results. Approaches based on spectrum occupancy database and sensing technologies are driving opportunistic sharing, challenging current licensing conventions.This chapter looks at efforts now under way in some countries to accommodate broadband Authors: John Alden, Vice-President, and Catherine Schroeder, Associate, Freedom Technologies, Inc.Trends in Telecommunicaiton Reform 2015 61 Figure 3.1: Growth
