This paper describes wh
ich are the major changes
would occur in regulation policies and role of the regulation
bodies due to the advance of technology development, research
and innovation in telecommunications. The so-called open
spectrum, instead of free-sp
ectrum, seems to offer great
opportunities to all curren
t players, from operators to
technology providers. Open
spectrum gives room also to new
players mainly for those applications encompassed as short
range communications scenarios. This paper remarks that in
the vision of future radio co
mmunications the regulator, in
addition to its current duties, wil
l assume an important role on
conducting and funding research needed to properly face this
new role. Finally an example is
provided, which takes advantage
of an included reference, in order
to put in evidence how many
fundamentals of current wireless research will be revisited with
unexpected results. |
