U.S., Canada, Mexico Come to Terms Over Spectrum Sharing
Aug 2, 2011, 8:26 AM by Eric M. Zeman
On Monday the Federal Communications Commission announced that it has struck a spectrum-sharing arrangement with Industry Canada and Mexico's Secretariat of Communications and Transportation for spectrum located along shared borders. The U.S. will share commercial broadband spectrum in the 700MHz band with both Canada and Mexico, as well as 800MHz spectrum with just Canada. According to the FCC, this set of arrangements will speed up the deployment of mobile wireless broadband systems near the borders, and provide consumers in these areas with access to 4G high-speed mobile broadband services.
