Spectrum review in Malta

From "MCA publishes its Consultative Paper regarding Radio Spectrum Management in Malta," di-ve.com, 13 November:

"The Malta Communications Authority (MCA) has published its Consultative Paper concerning the management of radio spectrum in Malta.

"The paper depicts the radio spectrum management environment in Malta...

"Moreover, this paper sets out the MCA's proposed strategy for maximising the radio spectrum resource in Malta over the next three to five year period...

"It is noted that none of the policy issues identified in this document have been argued to a conclusion. Each one needs to be prioritised, incorporated in the MCA work programme and progressed through research, analysis and consultation, down to a set of recommendation to Government with those carrying the highest urgency and impact being given priority.

"The MCA will analyse and consider the comments received and publish a report on the consultation which will, inter alia, summarise the responses received to the consultation. This will be followed by the publication of a final strategy spanning three years from 2007 to 2010 and a detailed work programme for 2007.

"Copies of the consultative document "Policy Review and Strategic Framework of Radio Spectrum Management" can be downloaded from the MCA's web site at www.mca.org.mt or copies can be obtained free of charge from the MCA's offices.

"Submissions are to be received at the MCA by December 15, 2006."
