Overall goal: • To promote a joined-up understanding of current and future spectrum needs
across UK users, thereby assisting in maximising associated benefits (social and economic) and by ensuring spectrum supply can be efficiently matched to those needs.
Specific Aims • To identify and characterise the UK private and public sectors which have distinct
dependencies on spectrum • To determine the current needs and usage of spectrum and associated technology • To determine the expectations of change in sector service needs and associated
usage of spectrum • To determine the potential level of flexibility for modes of spectrum access
amongst licenced, licence-exempt and intermediate modes (e.g. licensed shared access, cognitive access etc.)
