Recently, governments in many countries have acknowledged the higher complexity involved in finding the more efficient path towards a so-called broadband ecosystem. The governments of Australia and New Zealand are leading the deployment of national fibre-based broadband infrastructures through...

The current development of fifth generation of mobile communications technology, known as 5G, has triggered intense discussions about proper spectrum assignment procedures to accommodate 5G spectrum needs (LStelcom et al., 2017). In particular, spectrum scarcity and lengthy processes to remove...

The essential input to the exploitation of mobile broadband known as radio spectrum is a scarce resource, whose allocation and eventual assignment by telecommunications regulator and spectrum authorities across the world is of outmost importance. The most popular approach to spectrum assignment...

This paper employs analytical methods to evaluate the ability of three different auction mechanisms to determine the efficient designation of spectrum between licensed and unlicensed use. The two regimes explored are 'licensed' spectrum, in which a licensee maintains exclusive rights to use the...

The advancement of information technologies such as Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing and the increasing deployment and use of the Internet of Things have promoted the capture, processing and storage of data over the last few years at a rate not seen before. The amount of data that are created,...

This paper presents and discusses a descriptive model that unveils the effects of spectrum sharing on the value of spectrum perceived by the players sharing the 3.5 GHz ecosystem. One intention of this work is to help inform a spectrum authority's allocation and assignment procedures,...
