EC may allow infrastructure sharing and spectrum trading

date: June 24, 2002

The European Commission called for the removal of barriers to 3G mobile communications networks and to endorse a fast track rollout plan by all 3G license holders at the EU's summit in Seville, Spain.

The European Commission has put forward a paper during the summit that details the conditions under which 3G rollouts should take place across the whole region that should overcome difficulties in the deployment of 3G mobile communications networks and services.

The EC has proposed that 3G licensing conditions should be changed and that member states could sanction operators to share infrastructure and allow them to trade spectrum.

The commission is willing to allow member states regarding the granting of permission to share infrastructure.

"In the short term, public authorities should facilitate the deployment of networks by harmonising rules for the authorisation of base stations and speeding up procedures for the acquisition of sites for base stations," the EC said.
