    [CV] [Abstract] [Presentation]
Session Chair: Mr. H. Mazar, ITU-R, Israel

Scope: This session will examine the differences between Europe and America regarding the regulation of Network Access. Europe has a greater acceptance of regulatory standards compared to the USA, which generally prefers market-based solutions. For example, in the US, FCC and NTIA support increasing spectrum for unlicensed devices, whereas in Europe there are fewer licence exempt bands and less power is permitted. 

Topics to be examined will include: the exemption of RLANs from licensing declarations; conformity to industry regulation (R&TTE) in Europe vs. FCC 47CFR Part 2 verification; declaration of conformity, and certification; unresolved or conflictive issues, from the point of view of how different countries (or regions) address access network regulation; RF spectrum allocation/ licensing to Wi-Fi, broadcasting, satellite and mobile/fixed systems; harmonisation of public R-LAN access to public electronic communications networks and services; regulatory framework of service convergence; liberalisation and deregulation; how globalisation and free circulation promote similar regulations and standards; broadband policy and deployment: i.e. grants by government, tax relief, drastic deregulation to change the competition regime; ITU-R Workshop on Spectrum Management for a Converging World.
