COULD skip the auction frequencies on which the government expects to get 2.4 billion euro. And 'bad news not only for public finances - that money was already put into account as a cover for the current Law of stability - but also for the future of mobile broadband. The frequencies for which there should be an auction announced by the Ministry of Economic Development, in fact, are needed to give more resources to wireless networks.
Mainly UMTS / HSPA and fourth generation mobile broadband (LTE, Long Term Evolution). Are then used to allow users to navigate faster on mobile networks (up to 100 Megabits per second) and use innovative Internet services. The government, however, must overcome many political problems, before they can achieve the auction.
The last straw is the lack of frequencies to 2.6 GHz, including the spectrum available for auction today is what we read in the draft decree for the revision of the national frequency allocation plan. The reason is that those frequencies are in the hands of Defense, who is willing to devote to economic development only in the event of a fee.
It 'the same reason that has delayed for months the auction of the WiMax technology (wireless broadband). Good news for mobile networks, however, is that according to the draft decree, were located 61 to 69 channels at 800 MHz spectrum They are precious resources to extend coverage and capacity of mobile broadband and so far have been in the hands of local television.
Even this could be a revolution, as long as go through, despite the many spokes in the wheels for the first time, resources controlled by the TV will support broadband. A decision already taken, formally, the major European countries. Germany, in particular, has already launched a probe of the 800 MHz and 2.6 GHz The Scandinavian countries have already done that for the 2.6 GHz These frequencies are particularly useful to support femtocells, mobile network cells, ie personnel, installations in homes and offices to improve coverage and quality of service for individual users.
"The absence of 2.6 GHz can be decisive for the fate of the auction, but it seems to me that, in an absolute sense, this is threatened by the controversy over the 800 MHz," says Antonio Sassano, a professor at the University of Rome La Sapienza Frequencies and father of the Plan. The TV will ensure that local battle against the loss of channels 61-69.
The main trade associations, and Frt Aeranti Corallo, a hearing will be Thursday at the ministry, but their position is already known: consider that the government is doing "two weights and two measures", they want to divert resources, and is willing to to other frequencies for free to national TV via the beauty contest of DTT (a kind of auction dedicated to broadcasters and in the coming months).
So, in a climate of controversy already on the local TV, the stand-on 2.6 GHz, including Defense and Economic Development, could really give the final blow to the ambitions of the government billions. And the future of mobile broadband Italian.
