Consultation: Spectrum Policy Consultation

The Irish Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources is inviting comments on a document designed to stimulate debate about spectrum management. The aim is to develop a national spectrum policy that will be sufficiently flexible to accommodate technological developments, as well as supporting and promoting innovation, research and development. The document argues that policy should be based around eight principles:
1. Spectrum management should be dynamic and responsive to the needs of stakeholders.
2. Access to spectrum should be easy.
3. There should be clear rules on the rights and obligations of users.
4. Innovation and research in wireless technologies should be promoted.
5. Technology and service neutrality should be promoted, where appropriate.
6. Spectrum should be used efficiently
7. The State should receive a fair return for access to or use of spectrum.
8. Monitoring and enforcement should be regularly reviewed.
