Communications ministry publishes policy objectives for 850MHz, 900MHz band spectrum

摘要

Australia's Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications (DITRDC) has published policy objectives which it said are intended to 'help guide decision making for the proposed allocation of the [850MHz and 900MHz] bands, which are pivotal to the delivery of mobile services across Australia'. With the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) having previously proposed to optimize and allocate frequencies in the aforementioned bands using a 'market-based process' in Q4 2021, the DITRDC has listed five policy objectives, noting: 'In some cases, different objectives may need to be balanced against each other, or require tradeoffs to be made.'
