Ofcom publishes spectrum framework review

UK regulator Ofcom has published a spectrum framework review, with four key recommendations:

The Spectrum Framework Review set out four key recommendations to achieve these duties and aims:

1. Allow the market to decide on the best use and user for much of the spectrum.

2. Allow licence holders to trade spectrum in an open market and change the use they make of it in order to develop new technologies and offer innovative services.

3. Clearly define the rights of spectrum users, giving them the confidence to plan for the future.

4. Increase the amount of licence-exempt spectrum where feasible and appropriate to allow businesses to develop new technologies and services without the need for a licence.

Encouraging, especially bullet #4.
