Future broadband internet: the EU's proposals

The EU proposes to share a portion of the spectrum between the various operators for mobile broadband. It warns those who would use the funds for things other than telecommunications networks will stay fresh

Rome - New initiative launched by Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission: Commissioner for the Digital Agenda would like to push the various mobile operators to share a "piece of spectrum", so as to increase the speed and reliability of the wireless network for everyone.

The proposal aims to promote what defines Kroes innovation based on the availability of bandwidth (large) in mobility on demand, at any time and everywhere (in Europe): "Spectrum is the oxygen of the economy - said Commissioner - is used by every individual and every enterprise. "

But the spectrum is not unlimited, continued Kroes, then "we must maximize this limited resource reusing and creating a single market for these frequencies. We need a single market for radio spectrum, in order to recover the global industrial leadership in the communications sector mobile and data and in order to attract more investment in research and development. "

This reversal of the "world industrial leadership" goes precisely in the proposed "spectrum sharing", an essential part of the solution to the problem of limited radio spectrum ("wireless crunch"), "without interfering with existing rights or degrade the quality of service."

The proposed Kroes arrives at a short distance from a warning issued to the member countries of the EU in recent days, this time on terrestrial broadband networks: the Commissioner has urged EU countries to support economic investment required for the development of networks of new generation networks (NGN), instead of spending energy and policy initiatives to hijack these investments towards infrastructure electorally more expendable.
