spectrum at 2.3 GHz and 3.4 GHz in this financial year (2015/16).</p><p>The Productivity
Plan published on 10 July announced that the Government had implemented a new model
for the centralised management of public sector spectrum. Under this model a new Central

sector spectrum release to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, along
with a plan and timetable for achieving it.</p><p> </p><p>Terms of reference outlining
how this new model works will be published on <a href="http://www.gov.uk/" target="_blank">gov.uk</a>
in due course.</p>
