700MHz mobile spectrum: A sad tale of regulatory and interoperability failure
2013-05-01 15:00:56| Extremetech
In 2008, the FCC auctioned off some of the frequencies freed up from the transition to digital television. The auction was a financial success for the FCC, but a series of events post-auction made it a competitive and interoperability failure.
Canada plans spectrum caps in November 700MHz auction
2013-03-08 09:09:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The Canadian government has announced new measures aimed at increasing competition in the mobile market. This will include an auction of 700MHz band licences in November, in which the amount of frequencies each operator can win will be capped so that at least four providers in each region win spectrum. The government will also review its rules on spectrum transfers, also with the goal of facilitating at least four providers in each region. A public consultation on this was opened by Industry Canada until 03 May. Other measures include expanding requirements to offer roaming to competitors to all carriers and encouraging more tower-sharing. Operators will be required to report regularly to Industry Canada on the extent of tower-sharing agreements and negotiations, and if further progress is not seen in the market, the government said it will take additional action on the issue. Alongside the competition measures, the government released its Commercial Mobile Spectrum Outlook study. This outlines the government's spectrum release plans for the years to come.

New Zealand to auction 700MHz band in Q3
2013-02-21 09:02:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) New Zealand has announced plans to auction the 700 MHz band 'digital dividend' by the end of this year. The government will offer nine blocks of 2x5 MHz in the auction, under licences valid from the start of 2014 to 20 November 2031. Each bidder will be limited to 2x15 MHz, which could be relaxed to 2x20 MHz during the auction depending on demand. Successful bidders will be subject to both implementation requirements for spectrum purchased and a broader obligation to extend mobile coverage. The detailed auction format, rules, and implementation requirements will be the subject of a further consultation, which is planned to start in April. Following this, a subcommittee of ministers will finalise the terms of the auction, and the bidding is expected to be held in the third quarter.
