The need for more spectrum to cope with the technologies that come in the future to service the growing demand for mobile data communications make the regulators try to find new frequencies for reuse.

Always a good idea to look at what goes on regulatory matters for telecommunications in the UK, as this country has traditionally been a pioneer in Europe in the adoption of new regulations to enhance competition in the sector.

In this case, Ofcom (UK CMT) has launched a public consultation to discuss possibilities to find frequencies that are assigned, but wherever possible a better utilization efficiency.

In the open, Ofcom will review the policies governing the bands between 1.4 and 86 GHz currently allocated to fixed radio links to a possible change in administration.

In general, you want to reflect on the use of 37 GHz within these bands divided as follows: 12 GHz are administered by Ofcom itself, another 12 GHz are extra but are not guaranteed exclusive use, 7 GHz and 6 are free remaining GHz are delegated to other management entities.

The reality is that it is increasingly common to use mobile devices to connect to the Internet, so the spectrum reserved for this type of communication is low, even after the dividend has been approved for the digital use of the band of 800 MHz for 4G communications.

The regulator claims that anyone who wants to participate in the public consultation, analyze demand trends for the coming years in different economic sectors, to study and make decisions.
