Arab Region | Unlicensed spectrum policy (Arab countries,2017–2019)
This indicator is composed of two, binary sub-indicators: 1. Does the country have a policy that addresses technology-neutrality for spectrum use? 2. Does the country have a policy that addresses using unlicensed spectrum for greater wi-fi access?Assesses the country's ability to expand broadband connectivity by way of 1) gauging operator flexibility within a country's spectrum policy to migrate to the next generation of network technology and 2) assessing the country's openness to provisioning unlicensed spectrum for greater wi-fi access. Higher prices, poorer service, lost productivity, loss of competitive advantage and untapped innovation can all be outcomes of preventing flexibility.(EIU country research)
