Phillipa Marks spoke on “Gauging the economic value of spectrum” and “Public sector spectrum policy reform” at the 2012 Middle East Spectrum Conference in Bahrain.
Plum, with TNS, assessed the economic potential for cross-border pay-to-view and/or listen audiovisual media services in the European Union. The study involved a review of the supply of audiovisual services over terrestrial, cable, satellite, IPTV and over-the-top platforms both nationally and across the EU, and consumer surveys on interest and willingness to pay for such[…]
Plum, Aegis and Britten Consulting advised the European Space Agency on the application of the public value framework to assess the value of satellite spectrum use. This involved consideration of a number of case studies on different classes of satellite services across various frequency bands, including fixed satellite services (FSS), mobile satellite services (MSS) and[…]
This paper discusses the recent development of European level policies regarding wireless broadband services, and in particular those adopted by the European Union. We address three main policy strands, namely broadband service provision in general, spectrum allocation and policies addressing competition issues in mobile markets. We find that the European Commission has successfully promulgated good[…]
Plum assessed the benefits of releasing digital dividend and 2.6 GHz spectrum for mobile broadband in Sub-Saharan Africa in terms of both economic growth and social development. The study involved quantitative modelling of impact of early spectrum release on GDP growth.
Plum, with Aegis, assessed the costs and benefits of reallocating the 2.6 GHz band partially or wholly from MMDS to mobile broadband services in 2014 or 2017.
Industry forecasts suggest mobile data traffic could grow by up to 30 times current levels over the next 5 years. To meet this ever increasing demand operators will need more spectrum and to adopt new technologies to use spectrum more effectively. Governments around the world have announced ambitious targets for spectrum release to mobile broadband[…]
Phillipa Marks is speaking at the Broadband World Forum in Paris on the Business Benefits of Deploying a Supplemental Downlink at 1.4 GHz (1452-1492 MHz).
Plum valued spectrum licences for 825-845 MHz and 870-890 MHz spectrum for the purposes of setting government expectations with regard to licence reissue prices. There were three elements to the study: A review of international evidence on the value of spectrum licences in the same or similar frequency bands as revealed in auctions and licence[…]
