TRA opens consultation on frequency spectrum


The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority in Bahrain has opened a consultation on the current and future usage requirements for the radio-frequency spectrum and how the spectrum should be managed.
The consultation document seeks to better understand the potential use of frequencies from 500kHz to 86GHz, including the so called digital dividend (790-862MHz) released by the transition to Digital Terrestrial services. It also addresses spectrum rights and policy, licensing issues, the migration of spectrum users and appropriate next steps.
The consultation is open until 14 February 2010.
