  • Sky's Response to Ofcom's Strategic Review Of
    SKY’S RESPONSE TO OFCOM’S STRATEGIC REVIEW OF SATELLITE AND SPACE SCIENCE USE OF SPECTRUM: CALL FOR INPUT 1.1 Sky welcomes the opportunity to comment on Ofcom’s call for input on its strategic review of satellite and space science use of spectrum (“the call for input”). 1.2 Sky is a heavy spectrum user, with activities ranging across many frequency bands. We use spectrum to deliver our services (via satellite, DTT, Wi-Fi and mobile), to create our content (using wireless microphones and cameras and programme links) and to connect our customers (through in-home and public Wi-Fi). 1.3 Our varied use of spectrum makes us well placed to appreciate the tensions between competing applications which make use of scarce spectrum, and the challenges that policymakers may face when considering spectrum allocation in the medium- to long-term. 1.4 Sky strongly supports moves that ensures more efficient use of spectrum, through (for example) the use of newer more advanced and efficient technologies, the application of market forces wherever practical and innovative approaches to allocation and access such as spectrum sharing. This approach is consistent with Ofcom’s general duties as set out in statute, including securing the optimal use of the spectrum and encouraging investment and innovation. 1.5 Sections 2 and 3 of this response provide brief and high level comments on the call for input. In section 4, we provide specific answers to questions that are relevant to Sky. 2. The motivation for Ofcom’s review is unclear 2.1 Ofcom states that the reason for issuing the call for input is “to understand potential demand and supply trends, as well as trends in technology that might mitigate additional demand”1.
