additional spectrum for IMT-2020

Strategies to stimulate investment in 5G networks:
1) Investment case: Policymakers may consider undertaking their own
independent economic assessment of the commercial viability of deploying 5G
networks
2) 4G network strategy: Until the case for 5G networks can be clearly made, policy
makers may consider enhancing the availability of and boosting the quality of 4G
networks
3) Harmonize spectrum: NRAs may consider allocating/assigning globally
harmonized 5G spectrum bands
4) Spectrum roadmap: NRAs may consider adopting a spectrum roadmap and a
predictable renewal process
5) Spectrum sharing: NRAs may consider allowing sharing to maximize efficient
use of available spectrum, particularly to benefit rural areas
6) Spectrum pricing: NRAs may consider selecting spectrum award procedures
that favour investment

23. 23
Strategies to stimulate investment in 5G networks:
7) 700MHz spectrum: Policymakers may consider supporting the use of affordable
wireless coverage (e.g. through the 700 MHz band) to reduce the risk of digital
divide
8) Fibre investment incentives: Policymakers, where the market has failed, may
consider stimulating fibre investment and passive assets through PPPs,
investment funds and the offering of grant funding, etc.
9)Fibre tax: Policymakers may consider removing any tax burdens associated with
deploying fibre networks to reduce the associated costs
10) Copper migration to fibre: Policymakers may consider adopting
policies/financial incentives to encourage migration from copper to fibre and
stimulate deployment of fibre
11) Wireless backhaul: Operators may consider a portfolio of wireless
technologies for 5G backhaul in addition to fibre, including point-to-multipoint
(PMP), microwave and millimeter wave (mmWave) radio relays, high altitude
platform systems (HAPS) and satellites

24. Strategies to stimulate investment in 5G networks:
12) Access/sharing of passive infrastructure: Policy makers may consider allowing
access to government-owned infrastructure such as utility poles, traffic lights and
lampposts to give wireless operators the appropriate rights to deploy electronic
small cell apparatus to street furniture. NRAs may consider continuing to
elaborate existing duct access regimes to encompass 5G networks allowing
affordable fiber deployments
13) Access costs: Policymakers/NRAs may consider ensuring reasonable fees are
charged to operators to deploy small-cell radio equipment onto street furniture
14) Asset database: Policymakers may consider holding a central database
identifying key contacts, showing assets such as utility ducts, fibre networks, CCTV
posts, lampposts, etc. This will help operators cost and plan their infrastructure
deployment more accurately
15) Wayleave (rights of way) agreements: Policymakers may agree upon
standardized wayleave agreements to reduce cost and time to deploy fibre and
wireless networks
16)5G test beds: Policymakers may consider encouraging 5G pilots and test beds
to test 5G technologies, and use cases, and to stimulate market engagement

Digital Transformation
Through digital transformation, public Organizations have the potential to increase
customer satisfaction by 20%, operational efficiency by 20%, and employee engagement by 30%.

5G Economy
Enabling a
broad set of
industries.
Supporting a
thriving value
chain
Driving global
GDP growth
The 5G mobile value
chain alone could
generate up to $3.6
trillion in revenue in
2035, and support up to
22.3 million jobs.
In 2035, could produce
up to $13.2 trillion
worth of goods and
services enabled by 5G
mobile technology.
Over time, the total
contribution of 5G to Real
Global GDP growth is expected
to be equivalent to a country
the size of Italy. Italy currently
ranks as the eighth largest
economy in the world.

Four 5G messages for city local governments
1. Don’t use 5G to raise revenue. Don’t charge for the
use of street furniture, road opening permits, permission
for masts etc. Make it easy and cheap for operators to
deploy networks.
Jeremy Godfrey
Irish Commissioner for Communications Regulation
and chair of BEREC

32. 32
Four 5G messages for city local governments
2. Do use IoT to improve productivity, municipal services and
quality of life for residents. You don’t have to wait for 5G to start
using sensor networks for smart traffic management, smart waste
collection and a myriad of other services, but consider which of
your use cases will be enhanced with 5G. Municipal use of 5G
might be a key factor in the business case for very high capacity,
small cell, 5G deployment.

Irish Commissioner for Communications Regulation
and chair of BEREC

Four 5G messages for city local governments
3. Take care to maintain citizen trust. Make sure you use
data ethically, and have good cyber-security practices. Also
reassure politicians and concerned citizens that there are
strict electromagnetic radiation exposure standards that
will protect public health.
Jeremy Godfrey
Irish Commissioner for Communications Regulation
and chair of BEREC

34. 34
Four 5G messages for city local governments
4. Talk to telecom regulators about your plans. Many of us are
considering a range of different spectrum licensing models for 5G,
especially at mm wave bands. If we know what your use cases are,
we’ll make better decisions.
