The document discusses spectrum allocation for mobile broadband in Africa. It makes the following key points: 1) Mobile networks are more suitable than fixed networks for providing broadband connectivity across Africa due to lower deployment costs and wider coverage. However, mobile networks require a combination of low and high frequency spectrum bands for coverage and capacity. 2) The GSMA advocates making additional spectrum allocations at the World Radiocommunication Conference in 2015 to meet the long-term increase in mobile data demand. It identifies four spectrum bands that would be suitable and benefit from global harmonization. 3) Efficient use of existing spectrum allocations through technology and service neutral licensing could help increase mobile broadband deployment in the near term while
