Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) Since outside Europe the 700Mhz frequency band is already allocated on a co-primary basis and increasingly used for mobile services, the 700 MHz frequency band represents an opportunity for globally harmonised and coordinated spectrum for mobile broadband offering economies of scale. That band should allow new innovative digital services to be developed in urban and in rural or remote areas, such as e-Health and mHealth, supported by mobile phones, patient monitoring devices and other wireless devices, as well as smart energy grids and other services relating to the Internet of Things.

Recital 2 b (new)
(2b) The change in purpose for the 700MHz frequency band and better mobile internet connections in Europe represent an opportunity for DTT broadcasters to expand their efforts in the digital sector, using the transversal nature of the internet as an advantage. As such, DTT broadcasters should be supported in a controlled process of transmigration towards a stronger mixed internet/DTT broadcasting.

Recital 5
(5) Rapidly growing wireless broadband traffic and the increasing economic, industrial and social importance of the digital economy makes enhanced wireless network capacity a necessity. Spectrum in the 700 MHz frequency band provides both additional capacity and universal coverage, in particular for the economically challenging rural and remote areas, for indoor use and for wide-range machine- type communications. In this context, coherent measures for high-quality terrestrial wireless coverage across the Union, which build on best national practice for operators’ licence obligations, should aim to meet the RSPP objective that all citizens should have access to broadband speeds of not less than 30 Mb/s by 2020. In this way, the measures will promote innovative digital services and ensure long-term socioeconomic benefits.

Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) The 700 MHz frequency band is vital for the development and availability of present technology and digital sectors, and at the same time is a necessary pre- requisite to prepare the next iteration of electronic communications networks such as 5G.
Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 5 b (new)
Recital 5 b (new)
(5b) After a slow deployment of 4G technologies, Europe must remain at the forefront of technological innovation, using its spectrum in an efficient manner and supporting 5G, which will be at least 10 time faster than current technologies and will increase the creation of new services in Europe.
Amendment 154 #
Proposal for a decision
Article 2 – paragraph 1
Article 2 – paragraph 1
By 30 June 2022 at the latest, Member States shall allow the transfer or leasing of the rights of use of spectrum for terrestrial systems capable of providing wireless broadband electronic communications services in the 694-790 MHz frequency band as from the date of the granting of such rights.
