Regulatory and Policy Implications of Emerging Technologies to Spectrum Management

PUJOL, Frédéric (2007): Regulatory and Policy Implications of Emerging Technologies to Spectrum Management. Published in: Communications & Strategies No. 67 : pp. 43-63.

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the policy implications of technological developments, and how these technologies can accommodate an increased level of market competition. It is based on the work carried out in the SPORT VIEWS (Spectrum Policies and Radio Technologies Viable In Emerging Wireless Societies) research project for the European Commission (FP6)
