EU Commission proposes to remove restrictions on GSM SpectrumOn Wednesday, the EU Commission proposed measures to make it easier and more lucrative for mobile operators in Europe to offer and develop innovative wireless technologies. The Commission says “Mobile networks can best operate using low frequency bands, such as the frequency bands used today by GSM mobile phones [900 MHz and 1800 MHz]. In line with the Barroso's Commission drive for better regulation (see IP/05/96), the Commission proposes to repeal the GSM Directive of 1987.” To respond to technological changes and to the emergence of new pan-European communications services, the Commission proposes, together with the repeal of the GSM Directive, a new Decision that will allow new technologies to coexist with GSM in the frequencies of 900 MHz and 1800 MHz, while preserving the continued operation of GSM in the EU.
