EU approves 900MHz for mobile broadband

The European Union (EU) yesterday agreed to free-up spectrum in the 900MHz frequency band for 3G mobile use, reports Dow Jones Newswires. To date, the 900MHz band in Europe has been restricted to GSM services, but the Commission said yesterday that other technologies can now be used as long as they do not encroach on existing second-generation (GSM) services. "This reform will remove constraints on operators so that they can deploy new technologies in the GSM bands to develop high-speed mobile broadband services," said EU telecoms commissioner Viviane Reding.
