Abstract

Diverse radio spectrum management regimes are defined according to 4 levels of options: - Should frequencies be allocated according to a harmonised plan? - Should the technologies allowed be standardised? - Should spectrum usage rights be exclusive, eased, or collective? - Should usage rights be assigned through market mechanisms (auctions and trading), administrative procedures, or hybrid procedures? These guidelines propose a balanced set of decision criteria, thus allowing the completion of rigorous impact assessments. It describes the possible regimes resulting from the combined choices. The taxonomy illustrates the possible rationales for a diversity of regimes broader than the usually exposed standard trilogy of Command and Control, Market and Commons: This includes Harmonised neutrality, Administered neutrality, Technology neutrality in Command and Control context, Harmonised neutrality Plus, Private Commons and California Dream. The nine regimes described can also be considered as a map with which to navigate in order to accommodate institutional and technological transitions over time. This allows decision-makers to come-up with informed choices using all the technical information available, and based on definite criteria and a rigorous methodology.
