Spectrum for IMT Advanced
Webinar summary: One factor is more important than any other in deciding how big a role 4G will play in global communications – and that factor is spectrum regulation. The more licensed and unlicensed bands that are opened up to 4G, the more impact the technology will have. There are several critical decisions to be made this year by key regulators about spectrum availability and usage, which are explained, together with the implications for 4G operators.
Among the key questions are:
• Whether regulatory bodies will allow broadband wireless technologies into 3G spectrum
• Whether they will permit mobility in 3.5GHz bands, and
• What will be the impact of the availability of the digital dividend spectrum
• How much spectrum is required by region?
Spectrum roadmap and characteristics for IMT-advanced are also be examined.

Businesses will need to fundamentally rethink how they can take advantage of this major shift in communications and technology to make them more profitable and competitive.

Yankee Group has estimated that the global consumer mobile Internet services market has an untapped potential of $55 billion. The size of the market today and forecasts for how it will grow, have been constrained by a myriad of obstacles that litter the path to ubiquitous connectivity. These include regulatory factors, network capacity and performance limitations, restrictive usage tariffs, expensive devices, a lack of open development platforms, and several other challenges. The question is what would happen if these and other barriers are overcome? Harnessing the Mobile Internet explains who the players are, how the mobile Internet ecosystem is evolving, and how market trends are breaking down these barriers to enable future revenues to far exceed even today’s forecasts.
