Replacing the GSM Directive heralds a period of delicate negotiation

Some European countries are pushing ahead with 2G refarming while
those where Hutchinson is a 3G operator fear legal action and wait
nervously until next month when an announcement on replacing the GSM
directive is expected.

On an Europe-wide basis the European conference of Postal and
Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) Electronic Communications
Committee released an EEC Decision on December 1, 2006, which read,
in part: "The frequency bands 880-915 MHz, 925-960 MHz, 1710-1785 MHz
and 1805-1880 MHz, in line with the WAPECS concept and as a first
step, are designated for terrestrial IMT-2000/UMTS systems, subject
to market demand and national licensing schemes".
