This document explains our conclusions following the consultation of 22 September 2009.
Radio spectrum is a limited and valuable resource. One of our main duties is to secure its optimal use. Spectrum trading provides an important mechanism for achieving this as it enables spectrum to migrate into the hands of those that can use it more productively, making it easier and faster to access spectrum for innovation and growth.
It is in citizens’ and consumers’ interests that the spectrum market should function as efficiently and effectively as possible. The changes we intend to simplify the trading process will facilitate this by reducing transaction costs and execution times.
