</div><p>The European Commission (EC) today called for member states to introduce legislation that makes it easier to share spectrum and <a title="White Space Can Meet Mobile Demand" href="http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/comment/white-space-can-meet-mobile-demand-74663/2">make use of white space</a> in order to deal with anticipated growth in mobile data traffic.</p>
<p>‘White
 spaces’ consist of unused spectrum. They can emerge when signals are 
switched off because of a service running in certain time frames, or in 
geographic spaces where networks are not re-using spectrum.</p><p>Although
 it has acknowledged that some member states have already employed 
strategies to exploit white space, the EC wants a “coordinated European 
approach” for spectrum sharing and for legislation to reflect new 
technologies.</p><p>The EC has warned that without the measures outlined in its new Radio Spectrum Policy Programme, mobile and <span class="wp_keywordlink"><a href="http://www.eweekeurope.co.uk/tag/broadband" title="broadband">broadband</a></span>
 users could suffer from poor service and that Europe risks being left 
with a fragmented market which lags behind the use of wireless 
innovations.</p><p></p>Noticia original completa em: <b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><a href="http://tinyurl.com/d4d7zdl">http://tinyurl.com/d4d7zdl</a></span></b><br>
