Broadband spectrum management

This chapter discusses the challenges spectrum regulators face in allocating and assigning spectrum for broadband wireless access (BWA) and other wireless services. The main challenge is to provide for flexible, market-oriented spectrum licence rights, which can create a positive investment climate for BWA services. At the same time, regulators want to discourage uneconomic hoarding and speculation in spectrum, which could delay the rollout of services to consumers.
