Like other natural resources, spectrum is a public good. It is therefore an area which should remain within public management to ensure that it serves the public interest. This is the only way to offer public goods which are essential to developing an information society for all. That is why we fundamentally disagree with the resolution adopted and voted against it.
Experience has shown that combined approaches (policies and market) always end up serving the interests of economic groups rather than the interests of the people. The same applies to the allocation of spectrum released by the digital switchover, where the priority should be social, cultural and economic value (better public service, wireless broadband to underserved areas, growth and jobs, and so on) and not increasing public revenues.
Spectrum management is the exclusive competence of each Member State. However, there are certain aspects of the resolution with which we do agree, bearing in mind that spectrum knows no borders and that effective use of spectrum in the Member States and EU-level coordination are useful, particularly for the development of pan-European services and the negotiation of international agreements. However, we disagree with the idea of using an approach identical to commercial policy."@en1
