Description

MOD's Defence Digital is seeking to commission a report which explores the feasibility of implementing a GC-DSA (Government-controlled dynamic spectrum access) approach to spectrum sharing, to explore an innovative potential solution to the difficulties currently faced with the lack of releasable Government spectrum.

The report will need to outline the following:
- How GC-DSA can work, including additional licensing tools that Ofcom might need
- Potential pitfalls and solutions
- Economic considerations and value to the UK economy of such sharing
- Minimum spectrum availability in both bands/terms/duration of sharing
- Desirability of locations of spectrum sharing
- Definitions of terms under which spectrum would be shared
