Meeting customer demand for quality user experiences with latest generation mobile devices, apps and services depends on industry investing $billions in:• latest generation technologies• network infrastructure and • radio-frequency spectrum
Innovation Investment Infrastructure

Infrastructure - Spectrum
• Utilisation of currently available MBB spectrum
• Future spectrum—1.5 GHz, 3.4/3.5 GHz
• Future spectrum—WRC-15 preparations [600 MHz, 2700-2900 MHz]
• Spectrum above 6 GHz – WRC-19
Spectrum ReviewWhat does reform look like?
• Transparency - providing a clear and transparent policy framework
• Efficiency - promoting efficient allocation and use of spectrum • Flexibility - ensuring arrangements are as flexible as possible to promote choice and innovation • Certainty - providing confidence about regulatory arrangements and spectrum access terms and
conditions and promote international harmonisation in Australia’s interests
• Simplicity - creating a framework that is simpler, easier to understand and uses the least cost regulation required to achieve the objective
The proposed reform approach is to restructure and rationalise the legislative framework to:• provide for greater market-based activity• simplify regulatory structures, streamline regulatory processes and clarify the role for

New Framework thinking
• Proactive approach – early response to market signals in consultation with industry – ongoing dialogue
• Simultaneous planning – domestic and regional / international
• Develop ability to prioritise flow of spectrum to market
• Work with industry to understand complexities of dealing with demand
• Long lead times is not a strategy – seek world leading process efficiency
• Future will rely on flexibility and agility – keep options open
• Influencing and leading – spectrum and innovation
Beyond 2020 - Key themes
• “The ACMA will focus on the desired outcome—that is, delivery of mobile broadband services enabled by mobile broadband capacity, with provision of spectrum being one of several inputs to delivering this outcome.”
• “The ACMA will….seek to provide the right spectrum at the right time to address the growth in demand for mobile broadband capacity.” 2015 ACMA Beyond 2020 12

Beyond 2020….
• ACMA strategy – good initial approach with refinements
• Timing concern given WRC-15 agenda item 1.1 impacts
• Recommend post WRC feedback on Beyond 2020 – Feb 16
• WRC cycle – potential limiting factor
• Respect for the balancing act for all stakeholders
• Contemporary policy approach with matching ACMA strategy – a “must have” given ecosystem dynamics

Summary
• Strong data growth forecasts – set to continue• Video, IoT / M2M will drive increasing growth• Mobile broadband role & influence increasing • Policy settings must support mobile BB:
– Innovation– Investment– Infrastructure – networks and spectrum
• ACMA Strategy – streamlining implementation is key

Final thought
“Mobile sits at the heart of a new ecosystem that is uniting the
digital and physical worlds and powering economic growth.”
