Public Policy Position on Spectrum and Infrastructure Sharing

All countries should have a regulatory framework that enables mobile operators to engage in voluntary sharing of infrastructure and voluntary sharing of spectrum in mobile bands. Mobile operators are strongly in favour of maintaining the concept of exclusive usage rights to be awarded to the licensee. Ensuring the licensee the exclusive usage rights is the only way to optimize the use of the mobile bands’ spectrum. The licensee is best placed to develop and manage effective mobile bands spectrum sharing arrangements.
