There is an artificial shortage of spectrum in the UK due to a lack of auctions by Ofcom and slow release of spectrum from the public sector. While aggregate supply may meet demand, availability is constrained where it is needed most. Ofcom can help meet demand by getting more spectrum to market through reducing barriers to trading, publishing information on licenses, and enabling band managers to facilitate secondary usage. This would move the market away from artificial scarcity and better satisfy Ofcom's duty to optimize spectrum use.
Will OneWeb continue as a potential global satellite network after chapter 11?
This paper looks at what we can learn from previous chapter 11 filings such as ICO and Iridium. It notes that the regulatory ITU filings are not via the US administration. The UK and France control the ITU filings as notifying admins - so their attitudes will be key - and likely not bound by US chapter 11 decisions. This was the case with ICO having its filings revoked by the UK.
The paper also looks at what the current constellation of 74 satellites might offer to consumers and how many more satellites might be required (perhaps 300 in total?) to offer consumer grade service in the US.
The paper also looks at who the creditors are - nearly 90% from European companies and some European governments being significant creditors indirectly. This may suggest an option to have the network upgraded and used to provide rural broadband coverage for public policy objectives (perhaps in Northern Europe initially).
This presentation was a contribution to a panel at FIPA 2018 and provides an overview of Francophone broadcast markets, including FTA, Pay TV, You Tube and VoD.

Innovation and spectrum regulation and property rights : IEEE DySpan paper 2005roberto ercole
A paper from 2005.
This paper looks at the regulatory changes that are required to allow technologies such as quick and easy access to radio spectrum. Without such changes it will not be possible for DySPAN technologies to make the inroads into the market, that are required to ensure spectrum is used with the optimum economic efficiency. This access to market requires greater use of a technology neutral spectrum property right.

Spectrum liberalisation and technology neutral licencesroberto ercole
how spectrum liberalisation needs flexible technology neutral licensing to work effectively, but the tension this has with the benefits of harmonisation and harmful interference control. The paper looks at the example of Europe and how this principle used WAPECS to do this.

UK Spectrum Policy Forum - Report on future use of licence exempt radio spectrum
This report presents the findings of a study commissioned from Plum Consulting for the UK Spectrum Policy Forum to assess the current and future use of frequency bands which may be used by licence exempt wireless applications in the UK and Europe. Its main purpose was to identify any actions that may need to be taken to maintain the economic value of licence exempt bands and to ensure equitable co-existence between new and existing licence exempt technologies and applications.
