Internet at 30 Mbps for all in 2020

The Industry Committee of the European Parliament voted by 46 lanes and 1 against, a proposal by the European Commission establishing the first program on radio spectrum policy. Under this program, all Europeans have access to the Internet and all its services to 30 Mbps by 2020. This course must be passed through the explosion of cellular connections.

One important focus of the program is the reallocation of radio frequencies to mobile networks. By 1st January 2013 all member states should have released the 800 MHz band after the cessation of analog television. By 2015, "part of the spectrum allocated to mobile data transfer should be at least 1200 MHz," according to MEPs.

And if the technical need arose, they also think releasing the 700 MHz band. Members insist that procedures for awarding these new frequencies should foster competition between operators. They suggest in particular that the governments of member states to "limit the amount of spectrum per operator or reserve a portion for future new entrants.

"Recommendations Niel surely appreciate the eve of the opening of bidding for licenses in France 4G.
