Fractions of space for mobile broadband – Västerbotten Courier

The National Post and Telecom Agency (PTS) has fallen into a conflict with several agency heads about the rights to the spectrum of the so-called 700 MHz band, as mandated by the government to auctioned to expand mobile broadband.

the commander, the Chief of Police and the Director General of the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) appeal in a joint letter to the government to stop the sale. They want to be part of frequencies instead saved to build a dedicated mobile data network for socially important functions, according to Dagens Nyheter.

It’s the last chance to secure a mobile communications network for socially important functions, they write in the letter . “Next time a full frequency band becomes vacant is about 20 years.”

– This is an irreparable decision to sell out, says Helena Lindberg, MSB’s director general, told DN .

But the PTS rejects this.

– There are a variety of bands and solutions for the needs that they describe, says Johan Vessel at PTS.
