SFM 2023_MODULE 3_DAY 4: 6TH MAR 2023

What is the characteristic of spectrum?

• It can be stored for later use

• It can be exported

• It is non replicable

• It cannot be traded

What is the purpose of Spectrum Harmonisation?

• To develop prices which reflect the spectrum value and cover the costs of spectrum management activity borne by the regulators

• To encourage co-operation between the spectrum regulator, with its technical knowledge, and the competition authority, which is skilled in market analysis

• To accommodate existing analogue TV programmes and that might be potentially freed up in the switchover from analogue to digital television

• To reduce radio interference along borders and helps in international roaming and interoperability, thus reducing the prices of telecommunication equipment on a global level
