radio spectrum management review. We aim to use this site during the course of
the review to inform those interested in the management of radio spectrum of the
review's progress. Furthermore, this is an independent review and its recommendations
and conclusions will be presented to the Secretary of State and to the Chancellor
of the Exchequer. Any documents published during the course of the Review are
intended to assist this process, but any views expressed are those of Professor
Cave and his team. At this stage, no views should be regarded as accepted by Ministers
or as policy under which Radiocommunications Agency will operate.</FONT></P><P><FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The
radio spectrum is an essential raw material for many of the UK's most promising
industries of the future. But the amount of spectrum available is finite - and
ensuring that it is used efficiently is essential if the growth of these industries
is not to be impeded. The next decade will see significant growth and innovation
in wireless communications. The UK has been successful in making spectrum available
for new services but it is essential that the framework for spectrum management
keeps up with the pace of change if the UK is to remain at the forefront of the
information revolution. To help it move forward in this area, the Government has
commissioned an <B>independent review of spectrum management</B>, to report to
the Chancellor and to the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry by the end
of 2001. This review is led by <B>Professor Martin Cave</B>, Vice Principal of
Brunel University. </FONT></P><HR>
