3.4 – 3.6 GHz is 'great spectrum to own'Last week, Ofcom agreed to let UK Broadband, the company that owns the 3.5GHz spectrum licence, supply WiMAX service to mobile devices as well as for access for homes and offices. In a report, by The Register, UK Broadband's operations chief Keith Hawkins is quoted as saying: "All this means that there is even more chance of 3.5 GHz becoming a popular band for WiMAX." "It is becoming clear that 3.4 - 3.6 [GHz] is great spectrum to own – (and having it above 3.6 GHz is less good - as getting the mobility and required power levels may well be a struggle for them, with potential satellite interference issues)." In the UK, 3.400 - 3.475 GHz is allocated to the Amateur Service. In most of the world, 3.400 - 3.410 GHz is also allocated to the Amateur Satellite Service, unfortunately this is not currently the case in Europe with the notable exception of Denmark.
