Radio spectrum is a key input into many economic activities, including mobile telephony, wireless broadband, television, defense, and public safety. Usable frequencies are a finite public resource, meaning that governments are required to intervene to manage allocation and pricing. In recent years, encouraged by economic advisors including NERA, regulators have increasingly turned to market mechanisms to promote efficient spectrum use. Reforms such as auctions, trading, liberalization of use, and incentive pricing, have helped to increase downstream competition and accelerate the growth of new wireless services, realizing potentially huge gains for national economies.
NERA provides expert assistance on all spectrum management issues that require economic input. Our areas of expertise include:
Our advice is grounded in a thorough understanding of the services that can be deployed using different frequency bands, including:
NERA's spectrum experts have worked for a diverse clientele around the world, including: national regulators, international bodies, industry associations, and commercial operators from the mobile, defense, satellite, television, and other industries.
