NOTE: When more than one network is present in a country, the total spectrum requirement may be higher in order to account for packaging the spectrum (integer multiples of 40 MHz for RATG1)

Needed Spectrum
Needed Spectrum = Required Spectrum Existing Spectrum Extrapolating from the ITUs forecast, in 2007 the NGMN Alliance determined what the net spectrum requirement would be, based on existing allocations, in each of the three ITU regions1:

20 MHz in the band 450470 MHz 72 MHz in the band 790862 MHz in Region 1 (EU, Africa) and 3 (Asia). Region 2 (Americas) and 9 Asian countries allocated 108 MHz in the band 698806 MHz. 100 MHz 2.32.4 GHz band 200 MHz 3.43.6 GHz band: no global allocation, but accepted by many countries with some obligations (e.g. cross-border deployment and power limitations)
Remark: This spectrum will not be available immediately, but become available following further collaborative work on international, regional and national level (e.g. digital dividend in EU >2012-15)

Agenda WRC-12
WRC-12 RESOLUTION [COM6/7] (WRC-07)
Agenda Item 1.5 "to consider worldwide/regional harmonization of spectrum for electronic news gathering (ENG), taking into account the results of ITU-R studies [COM6/5] (WRC-07)
Agenda Item 1.17 to consider results of sharing studies between the mobile service and other services in the band 790-862 MHz in Regions 1 and 3, in accordance with Resolution [COM4/13] (WRC07), to ensure the adequate protection of services to which this frequency band is allocated, and take appropriate action;
Agenda Item 8.2 to recommend items for inclusion in the agenda for the next WRC [COM6/22] (WRC-07)
Remark AI 8.2 should include a new AI towards WRC-15 to review the spectrum availability for IMT: New studies (ITU-R M.2034) on the spectrum requirements and additional allocations to the mobile service for broadband systems including IMT. This request is based on the calculated increase in mobile traffic (mainly data), which exceeds M.2072 (WRC-07) figures by a factor of >5 already today.

WRC-12 resolutions
Various resolution have been approved by WRC-12
2 resolutions relating to IMT/mobile have been approved:
Res. COM 5/10: Use of the frequency band 694-790 MHz by the mobile, except aeronautical mobile, service in Region 1 and related studies
to allocate the frequency band 694-790 MHz in Region 1 to the mobile, except aeronautical mobile, service on a co-primary basis with other services to which this band is allocated on a primary basis and to identify it for IMT; that the allocation is effective immediately after WRC 15;
Res. COM 6/8: Studies on frequency-related matters on International Mobile Telecommunications and other terrestrial mobile broadband applications to study additional spectrum requirements, taking into account to study potential candidate frequency bands, taking into account the results of the studies under resolves 1, protection of existing services and the need for harmonization; studies referred to in resolves 2 include sharing and compatibility studies with services already having allocations in the potential candidate bands and in adjacent bands, as appropriate, taking into account the current and planned use of these bands by the existing services, as well as the applicable studies already performed in ITU-R;

Asia: ???
Benefits To cover rural areas with IMT, spectrum in the bands 900, 1800/1900, 2100/2600 MHz alone is only limited suited: 2100/2600: urban / capacity / carrier-bandwidth demand >20 MHz 900/1800: currently used by 2G and 3G in the future DD (800): better propagation conditions / larger cell-sizes / better indoor-coverage UHF band is now globally allocated for IMT scale of economy for hardware / devices / roaming etc.

2. Spectrum Refarming Re-using existing spectrum with new technologies In most European countries spectrum refarming is possible (legacy issues ?) Possible bands: 900 / 1800 MHz UMTS/LTE or 2100 MHz LTE Problem: legacy spectrum is not equally distributed amongst existing MNOs
3. Free-Up additional spectrum Try to find spectrum which is not (efficiently) used (e.g. <790 MHz or 3.6-3.8 GHz) Problem: long lasting process via ITU WRC and current user will not be happy 4. National Roaming Use the existing network of one of your competitors and pay for the access Problem: very expensive unless not mandated by regulator (e.g. France, Spain)
5. Network Sharing
6. Buy an appropriate competitor ;-)
