The new coverage rules will mean that within four years of the award, up to two of the winning bidders will have to extend good, outdoor data coverage to at least 90% of the UK’s land area, improve coverage for at least 140,000 homes and offices which they don’t already cover, and provide coverage from at least 500 new masts in rural areas.To help things along, Ofcom said it would discount the price for spectrum that carries these rules by between £300m and £400m. In the past, notably during the 3G auction in the early 2000s, MNOs found that they overspent on spectrum and as a result could not effectively invest in actually building networks, so it is hoped this will go some way to making sure this does not happen again. Ofcom is therefore proposing to make additional spectrum available for shared use in the 1800MHz and 2300MHz spectrum bands, which can already be used by today’s devices. The regulator is also planning to let third parties use spectrum that the ‘big four’ MNOs own, but are not currently using.Speaking at a recent parliamentary roundtable on 5G spectrum, hosted by the Parliamentary Internet, Communications and Technology Forum (Pictfor), member of Parliament Stephen Timms and Nominet’s Pasquale Cataldi commented: “We should be sharing spectrum and infrastructure if we want to be leaders in 5G. To extend connectivity, we need to enable business models which support increasing connectivity and consider how smaller players can be involved.” -- ???????? | |||
