One of the stated aims of the Government's recently announced package of measures for the telecommunications sector is to encourage investment in alternative infrastructure, including wireless infrastructure. Broadband wireless access is largely used for digital transmission of data with bandwidth capacity significantly greater than that required for telephony (eg internet applications). The availability of appropriate spectrum on which to operate wireless networks utilising various technologies is a key factor for the growth of this type of service. The Ministry of Economic Development (MED) has released a discussion paper setting out some issues in relation to spectrum allocation for broadband wireless access (BWA), for the purpose of seeking input from interested parties. Submissions close 4 August 2006.
