The Ministry of Economic Development (MED) has released a discussion paper on the renewal of radio spectrum rights for the main bands currently being used to provide cellular services, being rights in the 800MHz and 900MHz ranges. These rights are currently held by Vodafone and Telecom, and begin to expire in 2011. The Government's stated policy objective of ensuring certainty for existing spectrum rightholders is intended to be achieved by offering replacement rights to existing rightholders prior to the expiry of their rights, subject to a case by case review. This discussion paper outlines the review which is currently being undertaken by the MED in respect of the cellular services spectrum rights. Submissions are called for by 25 August 2006.
