RSPG decided at its second meeting on 19 September 2003 (RSPG#2) to develop
and adopt by November 2004 a RSPG Opinion on spectrum implications of switchover
to digital broadcasting following a Request for Opinion (document
RSPG03-14)
issued by the Commission. Details on how RSPG organises itself can by found in
the RSPG#2 Summary Report.
In accordance to its policy to accompany its work by public consultations, the
RSPG would welcome the views on this radio spectrum policy issue of all radio
spectrum users, both commercial and non-commercial, as well as any other
interested parties on the subject matter.
Interested parties are invited to give their views on the following
questions:
(1) How can co-ordination between Member States on spectrum management, at
bilateral and EU level, contribute to a quick and efficient switchover?
(2) In particular, what would be the added value from EU co-ordination ahead of
the Regional Radio Conference starting in 2004 and other international
negotiations?
(3) Are greater transparency and technological neutrality of spectrum
assignment, notably through valuation and market tools, instrumental to
switchover?
(4) What will be the “spectrum dividend” from switch-off, and how should this be
allocated to specific services?
(5) Does convergence require more flexible allocation mechanisms than
traditional ones, which tightly link frequency bands and individual
communication services according to ex ante decisions?
Contact: responses to the above mentioned questions should be sent
exclusively to infso-rspg@ec.europa.eu
for the attention of the RSPG Secretariat. Only electronic contributions will be
taken into consideration.
Date of launch of the public consultation: 4 February 2004
Deadline for submission of comments: note that this consultation has been
extended from 1 March 2004 until 15 March 2004.
