  1. Discussion paper: TV White Spaces – Managing the spaces or better managing inefficiencies? Cristian Gomez Radiocommunication Bureau, ITU 13th Global Symposium for Regulators“4th Generation regulation: driving digital communications ahead”Warsaw, Poland, 3-5 July 2013 The views expressed in this presentation are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the ITU or its Membership.

  2. In TV frequency bands, currently idle frequency channels: “white spaces” • UHF spectrum is highly valued limited resource: more coverage, cost effective • Useful for wireless technologies other than broadcasting: opportunity for mobile broadband • Currently, there are ongoing trials and some commercial deployments are emerging. • Proposed as a license-exempt application: non-interference/non protected basis. Must not interfere with the primary service (broadcasting) TV White Spaces: what are they and how they are being used?

  3. Why looking for more efficient spectrum use?

  4. Why looking for more efficient spectrum use?

  5. TVWS Considerations for implementing TVWS Probability of new digital dividends Costs generated by regulatory changes? Service expectations Total costs, who pays? Transition to Digital TV: availability of TVWS Increasing demand: bandwidth bottlenecks? Border coordination Service continuity and scalability Alternative technologies

  6. TVWS License-exempt, shared basis. Country specific. National ICT plan: coordinated approach. Internationally harmonized Regulatory strategies for TVWS: short-term & long-term? PredictabilityScalabilityEconomies of scale Bandwidth availability Security of tenure

  7. Spectrum sharing as an alternative to address efficiency. • Long-term strategy is needed to benefit from spectrum sharing without incurring in increased costs. • Potential for expansion of Digital TV and future changes in the nature of the current primary service can limit and/or exclude TVWS services in UHF TV spectrum bands. • There is a need to consider aspects of security of tenure and harmonization in order to achieve long-term benefits from TVWS in the UHF TV spectrum bands.
