Are you fully up-to-speed on today''s modern spectrum
management tools? As regulators move away from traditional spectrum
management methods, introduce spectrum trading and consider opening
up more spectrum to commons, do you understand the implications of
these developments for your own networks? This 2007 book was the
first to describe and evaluate modern spectrum management tools.
Expert authors offer insights into the technical, economic and
management issues involved. Auctions, administrative pricing,
trading, property rights and spectrum commons are all explained. A
series of real-world case studies from around the world is used to
highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches
adopted by different regulators, and valuable lessons are drawn
from these. This concise and authoritative resource is a must-have
for telecom regulators, network planners, designers and technical
managers at mobile and fixed operators and broadcasters, and
academics involved in the technology and economics of radio
spectrum.
