Industry Canada has released its consultation paper seeking comments on the “Policy and Technical Framework for the 700 MHz Band and Aspects Related to Commercial Mobile Spectrum” [pdf, 309 KB].
Long title.
Maybe that is one of the reasons we have 3 months to prepare our comments in response to a number of issues under consideration by the Department.
The consultation paper is seeking input on a number of areas related to promoting competition, including a discussion on possible “Open Access” requirements, set asides, rural broadband initiatives among other ideas.
Comments are due February 28, 2011 with replies to those comments due by March 30.
