At a time of explosive
growth for mobile
broadband and the
progressive deployment of
4G networks starting next
year, new frequency bands
are being made available.
Digital dividend spectrum
was already awarded last
year in the US, and is
progressively being
harmonised in Western
Europe. In the meantime,
the refarming of the 900
MHz band creates an
opportunity for mobile
broadband to be made
available in rural areas.
