New Zealand's revolution in spectrum management

Article Abstract:

New Zealand has moved toward reforming property rights concerning radio frequency bands, including spectrum tenders, though uncertainty and political pressures have hindered radical implementation of reforms. The reforms, carried out by the Ministry of Commerce, shed light on spectrum privatization as a concept. However, issues such the desirability of national or local management rights, and how competition can be encouraged with large bands, have yet to be addressed.
