Why review the 803-960 MHz band?>Parts of the band are underused>Opportunities for expansion of services

due to digital dividend>Migration to 3G and 4G and international

‘refarming’ of digital CMTS segments

Page 5: Review of the 803 to 960 MHz band Bridget Lally, Senior Radiocommunications Engineer, Spectrum Infrastructure Branch,

Proposed objectives of the review> improve the allocative, technical and dynamic efficiency of

arrangements in the band by reviewing the relevant planning

and licensing mechanisms

> align planning, licensing and pricing arrangements with current

and anticipated demands, and support the latest technologies

> incorporate spectrum in the upper part of the digital dividend,

which is not being included in the initial 700 MHz band

allocation, in order to expand services in the 900 MHz band

> improve the utility and flexibility with which the band is used.
