[MLB-WIRELESS] Ericsson Australia's submission to thewireless broadband inquiry

[darrend at ndpgroup.com.au]

Guys, if you have a look at the transcripts from the ericsson hearing
(directly after ours). The way I read it, it looks as though they copped a
bit of a hammering from the committee on this subject. I think Michael
mentioned last week he got this impression also whilst he was there. If you
look at the various statements made by the committee, I don't think there's
much danger that they will be following ericsson's recomendations in
regards to spectrum allocation etc!

it's not how a *free* band should be rationed; the carrier licenses
apply only to commercial activity on the band.

The licenses exist; they are arguing that there should be no
exemptions for non-profit use.
It would be irresponsible of us *not* to argue against this.

Exactly - ie us.
