Mobile Spectrum Value and Reserve Price by using Benchmarking Approaches

Mobile communications spectrum is a scare and essential resource as it is required to satisfy customer demand for telecommunications. It has one of the country’s highest economic values. Therefore it is critical that telecommunications regulatory commissions find choose a suitable approach to estimate the value of available spectra. Spectrum value estimation models range from simple to complex and some of these estimation approaches may require an extended period of time. This paper aims to analyze and review mobile spectrum value and reserve price by benchmarking approaches. A case study on 1800 MHz benchmarks of absolute value approach in Asia Pacific in discussed in this paper. Moreover the relative value ratios of frequency bands are explained.
