This band could potentially become the common worldwide band for commercial mobile broadband services.<br \/>\nThe countries in the region that have already assigned the 2.6 Mhz band for mobile services are \u00a0Colombia, Venezuela, Brasil y Chile and soon M\u00e9xico, Argentina y Honduras. In Europe, this band is used in United Kingdom, Holland, Russia, Sweden, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Turkey, Greece, Hungary and Slovenia, among others. In Asia, China, Malaysia and Japan are some of the countries that have already assigned the band to mobile services.
