The vision of 5G and the need for change in mobile spectrum access

Abstract

This paper discusses the need for change in the regulatory environment to cater for the next generation of mobile technology (5 G). It gives particular attention to provisioning of spectrum access for business specific services and applications and to possibilities to improve shared use of spectrum. It is proposed to broaden the market for mobile communication from a mobile operator specific market to a broadened market which is comprised of mobile operators, niche operators and service providers targeting specific business segments and private networks.
