The airwaves – or radio spectrum – are a finite national asset. The five terrestrial television channels that currently broadcast in analogue (BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and five) use nearly half of the most valuable bands of spectrum below 1GHz.
This cleared spectrum – the Digital Dividend – offers real opportunities for wireless innovation. The Digital Dividend could enable the launch of a wide range of different services. For example:
Ofcom’s work plan
This preparatory work will involve considerable technical, economic and market analysis. Ofcom would also like to hear as many views as possible from people and organisations with an interest in the use of this spectrum. It will hold a series of briefing seminars throughout 2006, with the first due to take place in January or February. Ofcom will also work closely with the main Government departments with an interest in the use of spectrum – the DTI, DCMS and the Treasury.
Ofcom Chief Executive Stephen Carter said: “The benefits of digital switchover, in terms of efficient use of spectrum and subsequent innovation, are becoming clearer.”
He added: “This Review is intended to maximise the Digital Dividend.”
Emerging wireless broadband technologies have been deployed in the UK in recent years as an innovative first mile/last mile solution for remote and rural areas. And with the current hype surrounding WiMax, wireless is poised to transform the coverage map across all geographies to deliver the vision of “Broadband Britian”.

“Radio spectrum is a valuable resource. The public sector is the largest user of this resource, for which there has been - and is likely to continue to be – growing commercial demand. It is therefore important to ensure that effective use is being made of these holdings. The introduction of market mechanisms into spectrum management will introduce both challenges and opportunities for the public sector. These need to be addressed, and mechanisms put in place to incentivise efficient use of these major holdings, now and in the future, while safeguarding the operation of essential security and safety of life services. I would encourage all those with an interest in these issues – public sector uses and those commercial users who might benefit from the changes we are suggesting – to contribute to this consultation. ”
Ofcom today published the conclusion of its Spectrum Framework Review, setting out its approach to the future management of radio spectrum in the UK. The Review advocates a market-led approach, in contrast to the previous regime under which the regulator decided the type of organisation that should have access to specific parts of the spectrum, and how they should be used.

    - The Ofcom Digital Dividend Review (DDR): Ofcom press release, 17|11|05 (posted 18 November 2005)
    Ofcom announced today the beginning of the Digital Dividend Review (DDR) - the project which will examine the options arising from the release of spectrum afforded by the digital switchover programme.
    The airwaves – or radio spectrum – are a finite national asset. The five terrestrial television channels that currently broadcast in analogue (BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and five) use nearly half of the most valuable bands of spectrum below 1GHz.
    Television uses spectrum based on a 50 year old planning model when there were very few alternative uses of these frequencies. There have been a number of significant innovations since, such as colour television and mobile telephony; however, this important spectrum is still used according to a plan originally prepared in the late 1950s.
    Digital broadcasting is roughly six times more efficient than analogue, allowing more channels to be carried across fewer airwaves. The plans for digital switchover will therefore allow for an increase in the efficiency with which the spectrum is used - including the potential for a large amount of spectrum to be released for wholly new services.
    This cleared spectrum – the Digital Dividend – offers real opportunities for wireless innovation. The Digital Dividend could enable the launch of a wide range of different services. For example:
    * New mobile services, with high quality video and interactive media delivered to handheld devices.
    * Wireless broadband services, with high-speed data and voice services.
    * Wider coverage for advanced services in remote and rural areas. This spectrum is particularly suitable for low cost, wider-area coverage.
    * Advanced business and broadcasting services, such as those used to support major sporting events.
    * Additional television channels including possible High Definition (HD) channels carried on Freeview.
    This is not an exhaustive list, nor does it indicate prior preference. The UK has a proven reputation for innovation in wireless services and it is likely that ideas for other new services will emerge before and after switchover.

    Ofcom’s work plan
    Over the next year Ofcom will assess how the cleared spectrum should best be made available for use. Ofcom will analyse the most efficient use of these frequencies and how best they should be packaged for potential users. It will also begin work on auction design, with a view to ensuring that the spectrum is acquired by users who are likely to make best use of it.
    This means Ofcom will:
    * consider the potential uses for the available spectrum;
    * set out the technical limits on spectrum use to prevent potential interference;
    * draw up packages of frequencies that give flexibility to the market;
    * design an efficient auction/allocation process.
    This preparatory work will involve considerable technical, economic and market analysis. Ofcom would also like to hear as many views as possible from people and organisations with an interest in the use of this spectrum. It will hold a series of briefing seminars throughout 2006, with the first due to take place in January or February. Ofcom will also work closely with the main Government departments with an interest in the use of spectrum – the DTI, DCMS and the Treasury.
    The proposed timetable is:
    * Digital Dividend Review (DDR) begins - November 2005
    * Programme team and consultants in place - end 2005
    * Stakeholder meetings begin - Jan-Feb 2006
    * Outcome of RRC - June 2006
    * Digital Dividend Review completed - Q3 2006
    * Ofcom publishes final proposals - Q4 2006
    * Digital switchover programme begins - 2008
    * Digital switchover programme completed - 2012
    Ofcom Chief Executive Stephen Carter said: “The benefits of digital switchover, in terms of efficient use of spectrum and subsequent innovation, are becoming clearer.”
    He added: “This Review is intended to maximise the Digital Dividend.”

  • The search for spectrum: Peter Cochrane's blog, silicon.com, 10 October 2005 (posted 25 October 2005) Peter Cochrane participated in the Cybersalon & Open Spectrum UK conference, FUTURE WIRELESS: practical.discourse.creative, at the Science Museum's Dana Centre, London, 4 October 2005. The following article presents ideas aired in Peter's contribution to the evening Wireless Horizons panel discussion:
    The search for spectrum: All the free spectrum we need for a wireless world is there to go get!... All it needs is a change of mindset - the technology will do the rest.
    Every time I look at the allocation of radio spectrum channels I go to a brightly coloured wall chart (...) that gives the impression that it is a resource of great scarcity.
    However, every time I look at the spectrum using an analyser and antenna I find a desert, just a few signals and a lot of random noise. The reality is that the radio spectrum has, at a modest estimate, a utilisation of less than 10 per cent. What is happening?
    Unfortunately, analogue systems and analogue thinking still rules! Dumb transmitters pump out high power AM, FM and PM signals, in many different guises. Then equally dumb receivers listen, plucking out a fraction of the energy from the ether. This is the world I grew up in as a young engineer, where interference, multi-path, scatter and signal-to-noise ratio dominated all design and operational considerations. This automatically leads you to a world of bands and channels - a carving up of the spectrum for individual applications and uses.
    But we have a new raft of digital systems being rolled out that have intelligence built into the transmitter and receiver. They talk to each other to minimise the energy used and problems associated with interference and signal scatter. Also, their signal processing aids consistent performance by adjusting the modulation mode. So in contrast to the analogue world, we can reuse time, frequency and space like never before. This gives us a whole raft of new freedoms.

    In a submission to Ofcom's Independent Audit of Spectrum Holdings, Peter Cochrane says:
    The future is far more likely to be dominated by the small/individual user rather than the giant corporation - and in both realms the opportunity for making more money from spectrum sales/renting will most likely diminish with time - the real wealth will be generated by the freedom to move bits and provide services that service and support business.

  • FUTURE WIRELESS? Some industry and technology observations from Peter Cochrane Looking forward to debate on Future Wireless, Open Spectrum UK has permission to publish the following statement on technology observations from Peter Cochrane.
    Context: Ofcom- Independent Audit of Spectrum Holdings (IASH, or Cave Audit of Spectrum Holdings)
    See the IASH website here∞, from which the following overview is taken:
    The Chancellor announced in his December 2004 Pre-Budget Report that Professor Martin Cave would conduct a comprehensive independent Audit of Spectrum Holdings (IASH), with the aim of releasing the maximum amount of spectrum to the market and increasing opportunities for the development of innovative new services.
    The public sector is the single biggest user of UK radio spectrum, with many holdings dating back to a time of limited demand and relatively unsophisticated technologies. The IASH has been established to determine the scope for increased commercial access to this spectrum to meet the growing demand for new wireless services. It builds on the principles set out in Martin Cave’s 2002 Review of Radio Spectrum Management, which set out the rationale for allocating the spectrum through market processes but did not examine specific spectrum allocations in any detail. As a result of the 2002 Review Ofcom is currently implementing spectrum liberalisation for private sector spectrum, to increase efficiency and innovation. However in some some cases, especially in the public sector, spectrum liberalisation alone cannot deliver optimal allocation into the future.
    In July the Audit team issued a consultation document (which can by accessed through the link on the left of this page). Responses were invited by 1st September and can be accessed under the ‘Responses’ section of this website. The Audit's final report will be published in advance of the Pre Budget Report 2005.
    Submission to the Ofcom Independent Audit of Spectrum Holdings (IASH):
    Peter Cochrane, Some industry and technology observations (9 July 2005)
    1. A raft of new (high speed m-processor) technologies will see more spread spectrum systems at lower prices.
    2. At the same time there will be more and more services and applications than ever before with short range usage becoming largely dominant.
    3. Power, multi-path (MIMO), diversity, interference management will become far more sophisticated.
    4. Interference will increasingly become a non-issue.
    5. DIY wireless systems will overtake the professionals.
    6. The public, and companies, will increasingly be prepared to just do it no matter what!
    7. Most of the spectrum most of the time isn't used.
    8. The ultimate adaptation will come within the next 10 years with software defined radios + adaptable antennas + free spectrum searching.
    9. The future is far more likely to be dominated by the small/individual user rather than the giant corporation - and in both realms the opportunity for making more money from spectrum sales/renting will most likely diminish with time - the real wealth will be generated by the freedom to move bits and provide services that service and support business.
    This all leads to the notion of a band free future, or at least a vast relaxation of banding top down with far looser definitions and control. It is feasible to start with all frequencies above 60GHz and slowly migrate down toward 1 - 10 GHz.
    There is also now a good case for new applications and services operating at or below the noise level of all existing channels from 1MHz to 30GHz (including radio & TV broadcast) for short range data applications.
    The equipment to do all of this is under development and will be available within the decade. If we do nothing it will just happen anyway!
    Peter Cochrane.
    Open Spectrum UK comment: An open wireless future beyond bands?
    Peter Cochrane's industry and technology observations on wireless technology trends highlight a future wireless world beyond the current regulatory mindset.
    For the emergent technology paradigm of shared spectrum use across bands, moves beyond the traditional spectrum management policy model for the regulation of the radio spectrum according to bands.
    Hence Peter Cochrane's industry and technology observations inject some "uncommon sense" into the Ofcom spectrum policy review, the Independent Audit of Spectrum Holdings. Informed public debate upon the strategic national resource of the radio spectrum has been conspicuous by its absence, as witness the Ofcom Spectrum Framework Review earlier this year which raised little press attention.
    The future horizon promises a ubiquitous IP communications environment of instant access and innovative business and everyday uses, with wireless playing a key role in the brave new converged world.
    Perhaps the time is ripe for a fresh audit of regulatory thinking, to re-assess the technology, economic, and public policy tools for spectrum management policy. Perhaps also to engage wider public debate upon the strategic national resource of the radio spectrum, "The Invisible Wealth of Nations".
    Open spectrum UK argues for a healthy mix of the commercial and the public interest, of licensed and licence-exempt access to the radio spectrum, to deliver an open future for wireless in which innovation and creativity thrive.

    Update 2 Sept 2005: Ofcom announcement- For information: a new publication has been added to the website of the Independent Audit of Spectrum Holdings. The Audit, being carried out by Professor Martin Cave, commissioned a report from consultants Analysys Mason on future commercial demand for spectrum as background information for the Audit. This study is published on the Audit's website today and can be found at www.spectrumaudit.org.uk under "News". It makes scenario-based demand projections focusing on the next 10 years but extending to 20 years, for cellular, fixed link, broadband wireless access, satellite and terrestrial TV broadcasting services, and concentrating on the major uses and users of the spectrum below 15GHz.

    Extract from UK Treasury press release: 7 July 2005

    Professor Martin Cave today invited views on issues that he will address in his Independent Audit of Spectrum Holdings, which focuses primarily on public sector holdings. These issues are set out in a consultation document and interested parties are encouraged to respond to the issues raised, which indicate the proposed direction of the Audit.

    The radio spectrum is a valuable, finite resource. In the 2004 Pre-Budget Report, the Chancellor of the Exchequer commissioned an Independent Audit of Spectrum Holdings. The Audit is focusing on bands below 15GHz used by the public sector and fixed links and concentrating on those with the most potential for use by commercial organisations. Professor Martin Cave was asked to investigate whether these frequencies are being used as efficiently as possible and to review the effectiveness of incentives for making efficient use of spectrum.

    Professor Martin Cave said:

    “Radio spectrum is a valuable resource. The public sector is the largest user of this resource, for which there has been - and is likely to continue to be – growing commercial demand. It is therefore important to ensure that effective use is being made of these holdings. The introduction of market mechanisms into spectrum management will introduce both challenges and opportunities for the public sector. These need to be addressed, and mechanisms put in place to incentivise efficient use of these major holdings, now and in the future, while safeguarding the operation of essential security and safety of life services. I would encourage all those with an interest in these issues – public sector uses and those commercial users who might benefit from the changes we are suggesting – to contribute to this consultation. ”

    The closing date for responses is 1st September 2005. Professor Cave will publish his recommendations and Final Report ahead of the Pre-Budget Report 2005.

    28|06|05 | Ofcom approach to spectrum management |
    Ofcom today published the conclusion of its Spectrum Framework Review, setting out its approach to the future management of radio spectrum in the UK. The Review advocates a market-led approach, in contrast to the previous regime under which the regulator decided the type of organisation that should have access to specific parts of the spectrum, and how they should be used. Ofcom’s proposals were subject to public consultation and were broadly supported by stakeholders. - Full press release here∞

    exempt use, called Ofcom's decision disappointing. Ofcom 'made a few
    minor changes, like agreeing to periodic surveys of congestion in
    some of the unlicensed bands,' said Dir. Robert Horvitz. But it
    failed to understand its own statement that where use of particular
    equipment for wireless telegraphy isn't likely to cause harmful
    interference, that use must be exempt from license requirements, he
    said. Capping license-exempt spectrum at 800MHz or estimating how
    much of it is 'needed' is simply wrongheaded,' he said. Ofcom is
    required by law to justify the need for licensing, not license
    exemption, Horvitz said."

    Bearing points for debate: Towards an Open Spectrum policy?

  • The reform of Spectrum Management Policy is one of the strategic issues for the Communications Agenda in the UK at present! Yet spectrum policy is below most people's radar- no pun intended.
  • We may say that the radio spectrum is rather a part of The Invisible Wealth of Nations. We need to engage wider public debate on the future of this strategic national resource.
  • Open Spectrum UK argues for a balance of the commercial and the public interest in access to and use of the radio spectrum.

  • Announcing Wireless Utopias 05: An Open Future for Spectrum?
    May 26th, 7-9pm at the Science Museum's Dana Centre. (posted April 26th 2005)

    Cybersalon∞ and Open Spectrum UK host a unique debate on the future of wireless communications and the strategic prospects for utilising the radio spectrum. Put questions to a panel of leading International experts and Ofcom representatives who will discuss the big issues of technology, regulation and society. Part of the Wireless London∞ initiative.

    • The context for this second event in the Wireless Utopias series is Ofcom's Spectrum Framework Review∞, and we explore wireless utopias from the open market to open spectrum. The radio spectrum is a part of The Invisible Wealth of Nations, and we need to engage wider public debate. Is the radio spectrum a common public good and global resource, or a commodity subject to the discipline of the market place?

    Programme details and speakers to be announced shortly. See the Cybersalon ∞ website for registration and Venue details.
