<p>In the Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review, the Government supports the introduction
of flexible, shared spectrum models - such as dynamic spectrum access - and the release
of additional public sector spectrum as strategic priorities. Government believes
that spectrum sharing would enable new players, alongside existing mobile operators,
to access and invest in new business models whilst enabling innovative solutions to
connectivity challenges, such as in rural areas.</p><p> </p><p>Today, we have the
tools and technologies needed to allocate spectrum on a dynamic basis. Government
will continue to work with Ofcom and industry to support innovation and investment
and deliver improvements in coverage. We believe that the market expansion model will
aid these objectives and encourage competition. The Government recently consulted
on these ambitions in the Statement of Strategic Priorities. Ofcom, as the national
regulatory authority, will have regard to these when carrying out the management of
spectrum and other relevant functions.</p><p> </p>
