Appendix 1

The frequency policy framework member

Within the framework of this spectrum, the framework of the political framework within which the IT and Telecommunications Management Board must prepare, take and implement decisions on the radio spectrum. The framework of the spectrum policy is thus the policy guidelines for the telephony administration of the IT and Telecommunications Agency on the spectrum.

Frequency management objectives for IT and Telecommunications Management

The targets for the Danish spectrum administration are formulated in accordance with the frequency and its framework.

Objectives

General principles of the frequency management of IT and Telecommunications

The following strategies and principles are generally applicable to the frequency management of the IT and Telecommunications Management.

Specific strategies

The specific strategies for the selected focal areas are formulated in order to promote the implementation of the general telecommunications policy objectives, including to ensure the dissemination of ICT infrastructures and ICT services for citizens and businesses. The focus on the focus is on the overall objectives of promoting growth and innovation, and ensuring an ever-cheaper, more varied and broad range of ICT services. In order to achieve the overall objectives set out for each focus area, a specific strategy is set up, which represents the political framework for the frequency management of the IT and Telecommunications Management.

Use of radio frequencies for the provision of electronic communications networks and services

Background

A relevant, cheap and well-functioning ICT infrastructure is central to Denmark's non-compete, adaptability and innovation strength. The creation of new ICT infrastructures will help to make Denmark one of the world's leading high-tech societies, thereby ensuring growth and prosperity.

Access to and flexible use of radio frequencies is the key to innovation and new products and services, as well as for the creation of new and alternative ICT infrastructures.

Radical eater, FWA (Fixed Wireless Access), BWA (Broadband Wireless Access), and MWS (Multimedia Wireless Systems) are designations for technologies that can all be used for the development of ICT infrastructure. In particular FWA and BWA are essentially wireless alternatives to the two strated access routes for broadband-ADSL and cable-TV which dominates today. This is partly due to the expected large spread of WiMAX-certified systems.

In the mobile communications area, the 2G-nets are fully developed, while the 3G nets are still under construction.

In the area of the mobile area, there is primarily a non-commercial frequency use, that is to say. where the holder of the authorisation holder does not apply radio frequencies for the provision of electronic communications networks and services. On the other hand, the licensing indices use radio frequencies for the establishment of own radio services.

The Danish preparedness and municipalities and regions have so far operated on their own mobile radio services. Law No 508 of 6. However, June 2007 amending the State of Contingency Act establishes an obligation to use a common network for emergency communication. The State has thus entered into a contract with Danish Contingency communication, A/S, on access to a nationwide radio network for the preparedness of the SIGN (SINE). This reorganization of the use of radio frequencies of the Danish authorities, municipalities and regions is expected to have a significant impact on the territory, as a large proportion of public users will then only have a limited or, where appropriate, no need to ; apply traditional mobile radio services.

Development

In the past, the provision of a specific communication service was closely linked to the application of a specific technology platform. The recent years have been characterised by a growing convergence between different technologies and platforms. Today, many different technologies can be used to cover a given communication need ; modern technological platforms are also more difficult to define as a specific service category in the traditional sense of the traditional sense (mobile, firm, etc.). Technological convergence means, at the same time, that there is a less need for the regulatory side to be taken to the same extent as the previous differential between frequency allocation to single technology. It should, therefore, be more the users of radio frequencies that determine the technology choice, rather than the choice of technology in the choice of radio spectrum. The EU and CEPT level are therefore being discussed, therefore, whether there is a need to change the spectrum of frequency management in the direction of further liberalisation and technology and service untrenuual use.

The Radio Spectrum Policy Group, in November 2005, produced a proposal for the more flexible frequency management policy of the future, the WAPECS (Wireless Access Policy for Electronic Communications Services). In February 2007, the European Commission followed up with a communication on more flexible regulation in order to speed up access to radio spectrum for wireless electronic communications services. The purpose of this communication is to outline the practical steps that the Commission considers necessary to reach 2010 in order to prepare for the more flexible frequency management. At the same time, the communication points to the current regulatory framework-also in areas where a more flexible approach to the use of spectrum is urgently needed. This relates, among other things, to the radio frequency bands that are used today for mobile phone calls for 2G and 3G purposes (radio frequencies around 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz). This also applies to the UHF television tape and radio frequencies in radio frequency band 3.4 to 3.8 GHz used for FWA.

From the Danish side, it is supported that the Commission should draw up a recommendation setting out guidelines for terms of authorisation in the radio spectrum, where a more flexible frequency use is already being introduced, but so that it is possible to implement the use of the frequency of the use of the spectrum. Member States may limit the use of radio frequency bands to certain electronic communications services in order to accommodate significant social considerations, including media policy considerations, such as public service obligations.

The new EU regulation will be a technology and service network utral and non-restrictive access to spectrum resources, and general rather than individual permits in the form of harmonised rights and terms of authorisation. A special set of radio frequency bands has been designated as possible runners in the work of abolishing restrictive regulatory provisions. One example is the repeal of the GSM Directive, which has so far reserved the 900 MHz radio frequency band for GSM services alone, and which must also be able to be used for new, more efficient and innovative technologies such as UMTS. More technology and service-alone authorisations lead to a greater need to ensure that users are disrupt. In this context, the Commission has given a mandate to the ETSI for establishing standards for equipment using these 'flexible' radio frequency bands so that the disorders of the IT and Telecommunications Management Board have so far been able to protect their courage in this area. Terms related to specific services or technologies are avoided.

The emergence of WiMAX certified equipment has resulted in an increasing interest in the FWA area in radio frequency bands under 10 GHz, including in particular in radio frequency band 3410-4200 MHz. At the same time, the market is affected by a growing supply of-and falling prices on-equipment. The development of equipment, however, goes the strongest for radio frequencies between 3410 and 3800 MHz, which was the reason why the Minister for the Science and Telecommunications recommendation on the radio frequency spectrum is 3410-4200 MHz decided on the basis of the radio frequency setting for radio frequency namsities. alone to hold an auction of the radio frequencies between 3410 and 3800 MHz. A permit was issued in June 2007 following the auctioning of the auction. Radio frequency band 3800-4200 MHz is also used intensively on satellite services, and communications to Greenland, including Greenland, and many countries in Africa and Asia, can often be achieved only by using satellite services, because there is no soil-based service. infrastructure in these countries. The radio frequency band is particularly important, given that it is the only radio frequency band in which there is global satellite coverage. At European level in the CEPT and the European Union, it is also recognised that there are no real alternatives to satellite communications in radio frequency band 3800-4200 MHz. That is why the CEPT has decided that the satellite usability will take precedence over the frequency of the radio frequency band 3800-4200 MHz. This means that the CEPT will not be earmarked for the radio frequency band 3800-4200 MHz for the high-intensity communications services, such as FWA. The IT and Telecommunications Agency has conducted a consultation on the possibilities of the future use of the radio frequency band. The hearing showed a certain interest in the use of radio spectrum for FWA similar services, but it also showed that it is essential to maintain the satellite use of this radio frequency band.

The supply of 3G services has been initiated in Denmark. One of the four 3G authorisations was returned to the IT and Telecommunications Agency in January 2005. This authorisation was issued again in December 2005 after an auction.

At the ITU Conference WRC-2000, the radio frequency band 2500-2690 MHz identified as the radio frequency band, where additional frequency allocations for 3G services may be carried out. According to joint European ECC decisions taken in 2002 and 2005, this radio spectrum must not be set aside, but not necessarily exclusively-to soil-based 3G at the latest by the date of the year. 1. January 2008 to the extent that the market has been attributable to it. There has been an increasing need to clarify how and when the radio frequencies in radio frequency band 2500-2690 MHz should be made available for new services, including 3G and FWA services. As a basis for this decision, the IT and Telecommunications Agency has conducted a consultation.

Applicable from 1. In January 2006, a new regulation has come into force for radio frequency bands 410-430 MHz. The regulation implies that the use of spectrum is in line with a common European harmonised channel plan. This means that the radio frequency band 410-430 MHz can be used for duplex uses and that 440-450 MHz alone are used for simplex applications.

Significal changes are expected to be made in the municipal frequency application as a result of the implementation of structural reform per year. 1. January, 2007. Thus, a number of municipal authorisation holders already have, as a result of the municipalities ' associations, enrolled in their original frequency permits, and now use joint networks in the new composite municipalities.

The change to the Raping Act, cf. law no. 508 of 6. In June 2007, significant changes in the frequency use of other public sectors shall be subject to significant changes. The law of law introduces an obligation to use a common operator driven net to contingency communication. After the entry into force of the law, 1 August 2007 will implement the new Security Network (SINE) over a period expected to end in 2. six months of 2009. As a result, a significant number of authorisation holders are expected to withdraw their authorisations for the use of land-mobile services. The time for the final transition to a new channel plan for existing authorisation holders should therefore wait for the completed transition to the new common network for emergency communication in Denmark. It is thus envisaged that current users in the radio frequency band 410-430 MHz need to go to a new channel plan in 2011 or 2012, where the conversion is expected to be finally settled in place.

The 14th. In February 2007, the European Commission adopted a resolution which means that the radio spectrum ties between 1980-2010 MHz and 2170-2200 MHz are to be made available to the European mobile satellite services (MSS). This decision implies that radio frequencies should be made available for the provision of mobile satellite services. Such services may, for example, include mobile telephone-like services offered in the whole of Europe by one operator, where communications are between a satellite and a mobile terminal. In geographical areas, which are difficult to cover from a satellite, ground stations may be set up to communicate with mobile terminals to supplement the satellite signals. The establishment of a land station requires the operator to obtain authorisation in accordance with the rules where the ground station is established. A committee of experts set up by the Commission has drawn up a draft of a set of common frameworks for the selection and allocation of permits to operators providing mobile satellite services. To this end, the Commission has published a consultation document in which a number of questions raised concerning the selection and designation of the authorisation holders have been raised. On the basis of the consultation, the Commission has submitted proposals for a Council of advice and consultation under Article 95 of the EC Treaty on the internal market. The purpose of this resolution is, inter alia, to make it compulsory for Member States to issue licences for the companies that have won the tender at EU level.

Strategy

Radio and television.

Background

The use of radio frequencies for the round distribution of radio and television is in the context of the current media and telecommunications agreements, as well as the laws in force. If there is a need to make changes to existing frequency permits, which are due in media policy considerations, after negotiations with the Ministry of Culture, IT and Telecommunications will make these changes.

The television and television sector is in a process of transformation from analogue to digital broadcasting. On the radio side, the Digital Audio Broadcasting System (DAB) is in operation and involves a number of benefits in terms of quality and spectrum savings. In Denmark, in large parts of the country, two multiplexes (DAB) channels are received (two multiplex), each containing a wide range of radio programmes.

On the television side, a similar conversion is on the way from the current analogue PAL system for the European Digital Video Broadcasting System (DVB). The digital television system too has been operational and offers a number of advantages in terms of quality, mobility and spectrum savings in the area of broadcasting of regional and national television.

In the ITU Regional Radio Conference (RRC-06), new frequency plans were adopted for DVB and DAB in radio spectrum bands 174-230 MHz and 470-862 MHz. This means that Denmark has the frequency options of all eight digital condenses (multiplex). In addition, there is the possibility of another nationwide DAB sendenet (multiplex) and a regional DAB sendenet (multiplex) to Jylland in addition to the two DAB sendenet (multiplex) that are already operational.

Radio frequency bands 174-230 MHz and 470-862 MHz are also used by other services in Denmark and our neighbouring countries, which may be required to be protected. The technical negotiations with neighbouring countries have not yet been completed. It should be noted that the agreement reached during RRC-06 does not limit the use of the radio resources allocated to circulating only and that other frequencies are also possible if these can be realized within the RRC-06 agreement ; technical frameworks.

Development

This is stated in the media policy agreement for 2007-2010 of 6. June 2006, the digital television system is being built by the establishment of a ground-based digital television platform in addition to DRC and television 2 / DANMARK's current digital broadcasting platform, which must be operated by an operator ("gatekeeper"). on a business basis. Moreover, the provision of the gatekeeper must be carried out in the form of beauty pageant.

There is an extension of that 11. June 2007 concluded between the parties behind the 2007-2010 media policy agreement and the parties behind the telecapolitical agreement clarifying the distribution of the digital television broadcast.

It has been agreed, therefore, that, from the end of October 2009, five units are used for television purposes, including two sendensate to public service. In addition, from the end of October 2009 to the end of October 2010, it will be used as a beacon for research and research purposes. This unit will then be transferred to TV purposes, including the broadcast of mobile television, which will be initiated at a later stage of the Contract Period for a joint resolution in the two framework agreement on the use of two nationwide broadcasting opportunities which will be available during the period 2009-2015.

The digital television system offers the opportunity to extend traditional radio and television broadcasts with new programmes and new types of application, which are virtually achievable with digital programming techniques alone. Enlargement of traditional electronic communications will also be possible when combined with generous dispersed capacity, for example, for example, digital television systems. There is therefore a possibility of diversified and variations in the use of radio spectrum for innovation purposes. The DVB-H is already being attempted.

By ensuring the possibility of using radio frequencies for research and research purposes, researchers and companies in Denmark will be put in a very favourable position, since it is unique in the international context to provide such allocation.

In the light of this, it is intended that the system (multiplex) intended for research and exploratory purposes must be used for the further development of existing and the development of new services.

In this context, the term ' research and testing purposes ` means activities from basic research to exploratory activities, and thus also includes applied research and development work. Whereas basic research consists in the original theoretical or experimental work with the primary purpose of obtaining new knowledge and understanding, in this context the study activities are defined as the experimental operation of pilot installations with a view to development and the testing of new or improved processes, products, systems or services. Common to the aforementioned activities is that they contain a significant news item.

Among the possible topics include study of possibilities and perspectives for interactive communication via radio frequencies set aside for digital services, development and testing of hardware, software, interface and content associated with the new services and the development and testing of new advertising formats and business models on television. What is crucial, therefore, is that there is a trial of new possibilities for testing and developing the digital services of the future, so that Denmark can be at the forefront of development.

Strategy

Permission-free use of radio frequencies

Background

The IT and Telecommunications Management Board shall set up the frequency slots of the frequency slots, where there is a high probability that the relevant radio frequencies in question will be used for the same purposes in the same purpose and on the same conditions ; and where there is no need to issue permits due to the slight risk of disruptias the second frequency use.

The Agency for IT and Telecom may, for example, provide for rules to exempt the use of the use of the equipment, including certain types of medical equipment, from the requirement for authorisation, as this type of frequency is linked to quite a few, distractions.

Low-power equipment-Short Range Devices (SRD) covers a wide range of equipment in which a radio transmitter is involved. The equipment typically uses radio frequencies that are harmonised at European level and often at global level. The equipment is characterized by sending with low-level effects but which, in turn, mean that the same radio frequency can be used again and again without disrupting the effects. The technical conditions mean that many users can be shared on the same radio frequencies. Examples of SRD are :

In addition, systems are coming where the user terminals are controlled by a network. This applies to GSM telephones, TETRA terminals, 3G telephones, FWA terminals, etc. In situations like this, there is a similar low risk of disturbances, so that the use of frequency must be allowed.

Development In the years to come, SRD equipment (particularly wireless computer networks, including WLAN and RFID), are still expected to show a great deal of growth due to low prices of electronics and radio transmitters. RFID is expected to be used in business, business, and home boats as bar codes, electronic keys, bursts and so on.

Denmark opened in November 2006 as one of the first countries in the European Union for the use of UWB (Ultra Wide Band). UWB equipment will be able to be used without the permission of the IT and Telecommunications Agency. For example, UWB can be used for wireless broadband over very short distance-typically 2-5 metres. Thus, the new technology can be used to communicate with external entities directly from the flash drive of a computer, television apparatus, radio etcetera, and are expected to have the same spread as Bluetooth, which is currently used by most mobile producers. UWB is a new way to use radio frequencies, sending on the same radio frequencies that are used for completely other services. Technical studies have, however, shown that frequency sharing is possible and that the risk of disruption of existing services is very small.

Strategy

Use of radio frequencies for non-commercial use

Background

With radio frequencies for non-commercial uses, it is believed that radio frequencies are not used as a basis for the provision of electronic communications networks and services. However, this does not rule out the use of the radio frequencies for commercial purposes. For example, this is the case for radio frequencies used by transport firms (e.g. cab companies and bicycle bushes), in the context of major works (e.g. bridges), municipalities (e.g. home care) and to emergency tasks (such as police, Falck and Fire Department). Several companies have also set up own teleinfrastructures, for example, in order to connect more of the company's offices using radiocs.

In addition to this, there is a significant frequency use, where use is not for actual communication purposes. This applies to the use of radio frequencies for scientific purposes, such as the soil observation, space research and meteorological services. In addition, there is a significant use of radio frequencies for the site-determination using radar. Finally, there is a significant frequency use for ENG/OB/purpose purposes, i.e. Wireless microphones and video cameras, and reportabians.

The mobile radio services that are most frequently not used for the provision of electronic communications networks and services include primary communication between mobile and portable radios and base stations at VHF and UHF radio frequencies that are, radio frequencies between 30 and 960 MHz. The mobile services include, among other things, passenger search systems, reportage equipment and wireless video cameras (ENG/OB).

Development

In the rural area, developments are generally moving towards fewer users having their own networks. Existing communication needs are increasingly covered by the use of subscribed services, such as the use of mobile phones, including the required TETRA services. The implementation of the Security Network (SINE) will lead to substantial changes in this area in the coming years. Where there are currently more than 100 different radiosystems in all parts of the contingency, over 100 different radiosystems will be phased out in the next decade to the use of one operator-driven radionry. This and the final transition to a new channel for a 400 MHz area will allow new services to be set up in this spectrum, as significant frequency resources are to be set free.

However, there is still a need for other users to be able to obtain authorizations for their own communication purposes. This applies to both private and public undertakings, which need to be able to establish traditional rural radio services. In addition, there are more and more companies that are interested in establishing own broadband connections using wireless technology rather than buying a package deal with a provider.

It is also expected to be a significant need for radio spectrum for non-commercial purposes in the future. This is partly due to the need to maintain the opportunities for users to set up their own radio networks rather than having to buy access to a provider, and the need for the use of spectrum for scientific and meteorological purposes.

In connection with the transition from analog to digital television on 1. In November 2009, radio frequencies in radio frequency band 800 to 820 MHz, used for wireless microphones, should be used for broadcasting on television ; when there are no real alternatives to these radio frequency bands, there is a need for them to be used for broadcasting. the existing use of wireless microphones may continue without prejudice to the restriction of the use of these radio frequencies for digital television.

Strategy

The defence use of radio frequencies

Background

The general framework for the frequency use of the defence shall be established nationally and within the framework of NATO, with the participation of the civil and military authorities of each of the NATO countries.

The general frequency use of the defence shall be shown by the "Nato Joint Frequency Agreement". (NJFA) and " Confescation to establish the framework for the use and the mutual priority of the total radio spectrum resources '. The use of radio frequencies for the defence is in the radio spectrum, as identified in the Danish spectrum level as exclusive radio frequency bands or mixed military / civilian radio frequency bands, exempted from the requirement of a frequency permit. In other radio frequency bands, the conditions of use shall be laid down in each case against the background of a frequency permit.

Development

There is continual development towards new frequency-saving technologies, so that the ever-increasing information needs can be taken into account in the current context.

Dansk defences are being imposed on an increasing number of tasks at international level. This situation leads to increased requirements for interoperable technology and, not least, to the harmonised military use of radio spectrum. This is true not only in Europe, but to all the nations participating in the UN and NATO tasks.

While there is an increased need for a harmonised military use of certain radio frequency bands, there is also a growing need for civilian access to radio frequency bands, where the defence has until now had an exclusive access to the radio frequencies. This applies, inter alia, to frequencies in which frequency use in Europe is harmonised to civilian radio broadcasting in radio frequency bands 400 to 470 MHz, and where the frequency use of the defence is limited in Denmark to benefit from the benefits of it. European harmonisation.
