This report provides an
overview of the latest
trends in the field of radio
spectrum, which in 2011
include: Digital Dividend
availability, the
deployment of LTE in the
1800 MHz band, allocation
and use of the 2.6 GHz
band, new frequency bands
such as the L-Band and the
advent of cognitive radios
with the first white-spaces
developments.
Key questions
