Tueday TV White Spaces Discussion slides are in 802.22 area of Mentor https://mentor.ieee.org/802.22/documents Documents 109-116 In Particular, Christian Gomez slides on TV White Space Christian Gomez is a New Zealand radio regulator who led an ITU-R TVWS Regulatory Workshop recently. His paper is open for comments until July 19th. TV White Spaces Workshop for Regulators paper http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Conferences/GSR/Documents/GSR_paper_WhiteSpaces_Gomez.pdf In the conclusions (pages 23, 24)Christian proposes to make Service Provider “unlicensed” have the same spectrum protections as “licensed”, and enforced by the database: Could some form of security of tenure be needed to provide predictability and a long-term space for TVWS applications?
Perhaps, other regulatory approaches could consider alternatives for creating a regulatory environment and a space where TVWS wireless broadband applications can access spectrum not only in the short-term but
also in the longer-term. The challenge is that TVWS applications are “what they are” while they operate opportunistically within the currently available gaps in spectrum allocated to television broadcasting but, what would happen if this changes or if digital
TV broadcasting networks expand their coverage? Would TVWS broadband applications be adaptable enough to continue serving consumers or would they require regulatory measures to ensure their long-term success?
In order to explore solutions for longer-term security of tenure, some key regulatory aspects at the technical, economic and legal levels will need to be considered. Consideration of these aspects can help
regulators and policy-makers in identifying options to provide an adequate regulatory environment where TVWS broadband applications can develop sustainably over time. Another relevant area for discussion relates to the issues of spectrum security of tenure for TVWS broadband service providers. Any investment and business case needs to have a stable regulatory environment
where wireless technologies can develop in a scalable way, for the benefit of users and service providers. Evolutionary changes in the regulatory environment for wireless, which we are experiencing specially in the highly sought-after UHF spectrum, can have
massive impacts on services that are not planned to adapt to those changes or not planned within a forward-looking regulatory framework. This particular aspect needs to be addressed; otherwise regulatory and policy decisions can result in costly short-term
outcomes and not in economically sound outcomes for the long-term. Comprehensive spectrum strategies and policies need to be developed towards the mid and long terms; or else we will face similar spectrum bottlenecks as we are experiencing today. TVWS needs
to be an integral part of such a strategy. petere Peter Ecclesine, Technology Analyst MS SJ-14-4 170 West Tasman Dr, San Jose, CA 95134-1706
