ATU Spectrum Recommendation
The African Telecommunications Union (ATU) and Ericsson have published a series of recommendations on spectrum policy to enable governments and regulators across Africa to accelerate ICT and next-generation connectivity.

Spectrum is the life-blood of mobile communication. Policies governing spectrum need to be optimized with a focus on prioritizing access to the right spectrum at the right time and under the right conditions. Ericsson’s key recommendations to governments in this respect include:
- Maximizing the availability of spectrum in a timely and planned manner is critical for economic growth.
- Prioritization of pervasive high quality network deployment over maximizing spectrum fees.
- Long term licenses with flexibility in licensing conditions and clear renewal terms.
The ATU spectrum recommendation provide detailed guidelines around spectrum licensing, evolution and management along the same principles.
