RD318 - Reflection Document on the Radio Spectrum Policy Group 2010 Work Programme

ETNO expects that 2010 will be challenging, focusing on the implementation of the new provisions on management and spectrum use as defined in the recently approved Telecom package. The RSPG 2010 Work Programme should provide guidelines whereby it is important to seek continuity while improving the work developed in the past. It would be useful to continue monitoring and supporting wireless broadband developments, which should be included specifically in the 2010 Work Programme.

ETNO believes that it is of great importance that all stakeholders are given the possibility to comment on the RSPG Opinions, Reports and Papers. This is particularly relevant in the case of actions envisaged by the RSPG in connection with the first Multiannual Radio Spectrum Policy Programme.


ETNO expects that 2010 will be a challenging year for Member States from a regulatory point of view, focusing on the implementation of the new provisions on management and spectrum use as defined in the recently approved Telecom package.
Due to RSPG’s new and enhanced role in this framework, ETNO believes that the RSPG 2010 Work Programme should provide guidelines for the evolution of the electronic communications regulations whereby it is important to seek continuity while improving the work developed in previous years.
In particular, ETNO thinks it would be useful to continue monitoring and supporting wireless broadband developments, which should be included specifically in the 2010 work programme. Wireless broadband access is an essential means in expanding the digital society and improving the commercial and economic potential of ICT. It is also a powerful tool to counter the digital divide gap.
Finally, ETNO believes that it is of great importance that all stakeholders are given the possibility to comment on the RSPG Opinions, Reports and Papers in general. This is particularly relevant in the case of actions envisaged by the RSPG in connection with the first Multiannual Radio Spectrum Policy Programme.
