Inventory and review of spectrum use: Assessment of the EU potential for improving spectrum efficiency

Studie für die Europäische Kommission

Authors: J. Scott Marcus, John Burns, Frédéric Pujol, Phillipa Marks

The study has been conducted for the European Commission by a team led by WIK-Consult GmbH together with Aegis Systems, Plum Consulting and IDATE – a multi-national team that has conducted several successful projects for the Commission in the past.

The spectrum inventory has been the subject of ongoing discussions between the Commission and various stakeholders, notably including the RSPG.

Our Terms of Reference for this study explicitly call for us to collect stakeholder data, but they do not specify how this collection relates to the ultimate spectrum inventory, nor do they call on us to make recommendations as to what the relationship should be.

We emphasise that this report, and indeed this project, should be viewed as an exploratory effort. We have sought to:

  • Determine what data is useful.
  • Determine what data is reasonably available.
  • Experiment with different efficiency measures.
  • Experiment with different ways to analyse data.
  • Experiment with different ways to organise and present data.
