On behalf of Three UK and EE, Aetha developed a report in response to Ofcom’s second consultation regarding annual licence fees for 900MHz and 1800MHz spectrum (as part of a joint project with Analysys Mason Ltd). We critiqued the revised approach taken by Ofcom when conducting international benchmarking of spectrum values, before then providing our estimate of reasonable levels for the fees. The findings of our work formed a key input into our client’s consultation response. Our report was published by our clients as part of their response to Ofcom’s consultation and is available on Ofcom’s website.
