(Digital Marketing Agency, thesnsgroup.com)- With a
view to lowering cellphone bills, the Canadian government has recently
announced a major update to its wireless airwave policy including an auction of
high-frequency AWS-3 spectrum, which should begin early next year.
If successful, the move will enable a quarter of all
wireless spectrum to be held by companies other than the three dominant national
wireless providers - Rogers Communications Inc, Telus Corp, and BCE Inc's Bell
- who had previously controlled some 97 percent of the airwaves.
“Other measures announced include consultations on
lower-frequency 600 megahertz (MHz) airwaves currently used by television
broadcasters; a path to relicense 3500 MHz airwaves; enabling a new competitor
to offer wireless service via satellite and land-based networks using AWS-4
spectrum; and improving the licensing process for 24 gigahertz (GHz), 28 GHz
and 38 GHz bands,” cited Reuter.
