Consultation on the 3400 - 3800 MHz band
The MCA has today published a notice for consultation regarding the 3400 - 3800MHz band.
In 2005, the MCA had undertaken an assignment process whereby three rights of use of spectrum in the 3400 – 3600 MHz band were granted. During the last quarter of 2008, one of the licensees informed the Authority that it was rescinding its right of use. As a result the Authority is in the process of making the rescinded spectrum available on the market. Moreover given the recent adoption of a commission decision on the 3400-3800 MHz band, the Authority is widening the scope of this consultation to take into account the whole band.
In this consultation paper the MCA puts forward proposals for the eventual re-assignment of this spectrum. Interested parties are invited to make submissions relevant to this issue. Submissions are to be received by the Authority by not later than 18th May 2009.
