http://www.reportlinker.com/p0346129/Radio-Spectrum---4G-spectrum-Regulatory-Conditions-Valuation--Fragmentation-Risks-4th-Edition.html

Key questions

Regulation

-  What spectrum restrictions are the European Union and the

United States having to face?

-  Why are the measures outlined by regulatory and policy-making

bodies similar?

-  What additional challenges does the European Union face in

working to achieve a harmonised spectrum policy?

Digital Dividend

-  Is Europe lagging behind the US?

-  What is the current status of the digital dividend?

-  Is harmonisation going to be achieved in Western Europe for

the 800 MHz band?

-  What advantages does it bring to mobile operators?

-  Which role will it play in 4G development?

4G spectrum

-  Which frequency bands and at what cost?

-  Which frequency bands are used today by mobile networks?

-  Which frequency bands are going to be used for 4G networks?

-  What spectrum requirements will the growth of mobile

broadband create?

-  What new spectrum will be available in the coming years?

-  What will be the price of the new frequency bands?

This report provides an overview of the latest trends in the field of spectrum. It analyses the regulatory trends concerning new spectrum for mobile services, and provides a detailed look at the recent allocation plans from the US and Europe. It also analyses what impact the allocation of the digital dividend will have on the mobile sector and supplies an analysis of the valuation of spectrum by examining the most recent spectrum auctions worldwide.
