Funded Activity Summary

Spectrum after Scarcity: Rethinking Radiofrequency Management. Radiofrequency spectrum is the critical input that enables wireless communication. Existing spectrum management tools were constructed to deal with scarcity. This project aims to reconceptualise spectrum management as technological developments reduce scarcity. In four overlapping stages, an international research team aims to investigate the regulatory implications of emerging technologies that share spectrum; conduct fifteen case studies of spectrum 'refarming' around the world over the last two decades, including secondary trading, public reallocations and renewals; explore models for dynamic integration of spectrum sharing and refarming; and publish an accessible intellectual history of a unique resource.
