摘要

无线电频谱对现代社会的运转至关重要,但也是一种需求量极大的稀缺资源。理想的情况是,将频谱分配给一个国家最有价值的用途,并尽可能集中使用。然而,我们还远远没有做到这一点,频谱的使用已经固化了几十年,很多频谱在很多时候都没有被使用。与创新的速度相比,改变使用方式通常是官僚主义的,而且速度非常缓慢。也就是说,频谱管理改革的承诺至今尚未兑现。我们公布并赞同早前的观点,即推进频谱自由化所需的关键要素是完全灵活的频谱产权,即牌照持有人可在干扰限制下改变用途;改善二手交易条件,使所有权得以变更;以及最轻微的监管干预。我们提出并解释了一个基于 "演进的频谱使用权"(eSUR)概念的综合政策框架,该框架允许改变用途和创新,可适用于所有专属频谱许可。我们将对此进行详细阐述,讨论通往未来的切实可行的道路和路线图,以实现一个频谱能带来比目前更大价值的世界。建议的政策措施主要适用于商业频谱,但某些要素也可能有助于公共部门频谱。

Evolved spectrum usage rights: A catalyst for liberal spectrum management reform

Radio spectrum is critically important to the functioning of modern society but is a scarce resource in great demand. Ideally, it should be allocated to the most valuable uses in a country and used as intensively as possible. Yet, we are far from this, with spectrum use entrenched for decades and much of spectrum unused for much of the time. Changing usage is typically bureaucratic and glacially slow compared to the speed of innovation. That is, the promise of spectrum management reforms has not been delivered so far. We promulgate and endorse the earlier views that the key elements needed to progress with spectrum liberalisation are fully flexible spectrum property rights where the use can be changed by the licence holder subject to interference constraints, improved conditions for secondary trading to enable change of ownership, and the lightest touch regulatory intervention. We propose and explain a comprehensive policy framework based on the concept of Evolved Spectrum Usage Rights (eSUR) that enables change of use and innovation that can apply to all exclusive spectrum licensing. We elaborate on this to discuss a practical path and roadmap to the future to realise a world where spectrum can deliver much greater value than currently. The proposed policy measures apply predominantly to commercial spectrum, but some elements might also help with public sector spectrum.
