As the use of high-speed, large-capacity communication standards and 5G continues to expand, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has decided to begin concrete consideration of the introduction of a "radio wave auction" that allocates radio waves for mobile phones to businesses that offer high prices. rice field.
The aim is to increase transparency in the selection of operators and to promote effective use of radio waves.
The "radio wave auction" implemented in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom is a system that allocates mobile phone frequencies to operators who have offered high prices in competitive bidding. It's been broken
As the use of 5G, a high-speed, large-capacity communication standard, is expanding, and the spread of next-generation 6G is expected, the need for frequency usage is increasing.
In the proposal presented at the meeting on the 28th, we should start designing a system for introducing an auction in combination with the current screening method for high frequency bands that are expected to be newly allocated for 5G. I'm doing it.
The introduction of the system aims to increase transparency in the selection of business operators and to promote effective use of radio waves and technological innovation.
On the other hand, it is pointed out that it is necessary to consider measures such as setting an upper limit on the allocation frame, as the auction may cause the successful bid price to rise.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications will proceed with consideration of the standards for applying the auction system in the future, based on the compiled proposal.
