5.4 Allocation of the released spectrum

This section considers the potential new uses, technical band planning, and allocation of the released spectrum. Such uses could include additional television licences, new mobile cellular services, broadband use, or a mix of such uses. Where spectrum is allocated as management rights the eventual end use is primarily a matter for the relevant manager. Where the Crown retains the management right the necessary spectrum licences would probably be more specifically tailored to a particular service, and could be allocated commercially or non-commercially according to government policy decisions.
