- Spectrum sharing is important to address the increasing demand for wireless broadband usage which is driving up spectrum needs, while existing licensed spectrum allocations are underutilized and slow to evolve. It allows for more efficient use of the limited spectrum resource by sharing it between users. - The Spectrum Observatory aims to provide a common location for collecting, analyzing, and presenting spectrum usage data to those interested in understanding wireless utilization. It has measurement stations across many countries and regions. - TV white spaces spectrum provides an opportunity to increase bandwidth and range for wireless services through unlicensed use, helping to meet increasing mobile data traffic projections. It can help deliver broadband access to rural and underserved areas.
