UK Puts Former Ham Radio Spectrum on the Block

摘要

UK telecommunications regulatory agency Ofcom announced last fall that it was taking steps to sell off shared spectrum it took back after the military no longer needed it. Ofcom had said in 2014 that it would halt Amateur Radio access to significant portions of the 2.3 and 3.4 GHz bands, following a yearlong consultation - a rule-making proceeding - that involved the release by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) of 40 MHz of spectrum at 2.3 GHz and 150 MHz of spectrum at 3.4 GHz. Amateur Radio was secondary on both bands.
