2021 Insights on the Impact of 5G on the Spectrum Price Evolution - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Has 5G Changed the Spectrum Price Evolution? - Towards More Regulatory Intervention in Assigning Spectrum" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The advent of 5G and the use of medium and higher frequencies have changed the game. Prices seem to have fallen and interventionist actions have increased.

Radio spectrum is a vital asset for MNOs and a key resource for regulators and citizens.

Radio spectrum used by mobile networks (below 3 GHz) has always been scarce, which pushes MNOs to opt for new spectrum usage techniques.

The main reason for spectrum pricing is to promote efficient use of spectrum and to ensure services for all.
