Abstract

This paper discusses the need for change in the regulatory environment to cater for the next generation of mobile technology (5 G). It gives particular attention to provisioning of spectrum access for business specific services and applications and to possibilities to improve shared use of spectrum. It is proposed to broaden the market for mobile communication from a mobile operator specific market to a broadened market which is comprised of mobile operators, niche operators and service providers targeting specific business segments and private networks.

    Private mobile radio means the use of radio communications for business purposes within a company, e.g. a taxi company to have contact between the drivers and the central dispatching unit.

  2. 2.

    UMTS was first developed for 1920–1980 MHz paired with 2110–2170 MHz.

  3. 3.

    Those organizations are the Aéroports de Paris Group, Air France, EDF, RATP, RTE, the Sanef Group, SNCF Mobilités, SNCF Réseau, Société du Grand Paris, SYTRAL and TIGF.
