Mobiles to gain greater capacity
The mobile-phone industry will gain access to vital wireless capacity under the proposed reallocation of a chunk of radio spectrum.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority yesterday released a discussion paper recommending that the spectrum be largely turned over to mobile phone companies hungry for the capacity to service the rising number of smartphone users.
The 2.5 gigahertz band is at present used by media companies for electronic news gathering, particularly outside broadcasts by free-to-air television stations. But there is an international push to turn the band over uniformly to mobile use.
