Statement published 10 October 2022
Currently, spectrum licences in the 3.4-3.6 GHz and 3.6-3.8 GHz bands (collectively the 3.4-3.8 GHz band) are subject to different terms from one another. We consider that removing the disparity between terms in these bands could potentially reduce barriers to efficient trades, such as transaction costs and complexity.
In our May 2022 consultation, we proposed to align the terms of UK Broadband’s licences with other licences in the same band. Following that consultation, we have decided to align licences in the 3.4‑3.8 GHz band as we proposed. This is consistent with our statutory duties, including our duty to secure optimal use for wireless telegraphy of the electromagnetic spectrum.
