EC Calls For Greater Wi-Fi Promotion
Posted: 21st Mar, 2003 By: MarkJ
The European Commission has called on EU member states (UK, Spain etc.) to start promoting the use of broadband wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) hotspot services:
The Commission adopted a recommendation on Thursday that encourages EU countries to allow for the deployment of what it calls public R-LAN access networks (R as in Radio, but which we know as W-LAN and Wi-Fi) with as little regulatory burden as possible. R-LANs are currently operating mainly in licence-exempt frequency bands.
The Commission said that such networks should be made available without sector specific conditions and subject only to general authorisations.
The recommendation also asked member states to subject the use of available radio spectrum to the least onerous authorisation system, but insisted on the security and confidentiality of public communications networks and services.
