CRA launches consultation on Future Spectrum Demand in Qatar

The consultation document to outline the CRA’s assessment of the demand for spectrum by the main stakeholders over the next five years

The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) has major responsibility to balance the needs of existing spectrum users while facilitating spectrum access for new technologies. In order to provide greater transparency for spectrum users about the current spectrum use and the future trends, the CRA launched today a public consultation to seek the inputs of the stakeholders on the development of a five-years spectrum outlook

This outlook will complement the CRA’s current spectrum management framework. The CRA welcomes all comments and inputs from the stakeholders on this consultation document.  The comments on this outlook will then assist the CRA in making appropriate decisions about the possible future planning, licensing, pricing and allocation arrangements for the radiofrequency spectrum.
