The ACMA welcomes your help in developing a long-term, cohesive spectrum management strategy for the 1800 MHz band.
There is increasing demand for access to spectrum in the 1800 MHz band from various industries. We’re working on a strategy for the band that will suit new and existing users in both the short and longer term.
The release today of the consultation paper 1800 MHz—a shared strategy marks the beginning of a discussion about the 1800 MHz band that is expected to run through to May 2013. The consultation process will include a stakeholder workshop on 15 November and three issues papers to be released in November, February and April.
The contribution of information and ideas by spectrum users and other interested parties is crucial to developing the right mix of regulatory and licensing arrangements. Those with an interest in the 1800 MHz band are strongly encouraged to participate in the discussion.
