I must start by thanking my dissertation chair, Tim Gibson, who has been incredibly encouraging, generous, and supportive, while being firm and constructively critical. If I could be half the professor he is, I would consider myself a success. I too am a charter member of the Tim Gibson fan club. Throughout my time at the CS program Paul Smith has always challenged me and pushed me to think more critically, and for that I am most grateful. It was during a directed reading course with Mark Sample that I really began to study new media and I am grateful for his support and insights. My scholarship has been enriched by courses and conversations with various faculty members at the GMU CS program particularly, Debra Lattanzi Shutika, Roger Lancaster, Dina Copelman, Jean-Paul Dumont, Denise Albanese, Hugh Gusterson, Debra Berghoffen, Johanna Bockman, Ellen Todd, and Scott Trafton.

    Re-Assigning the Spectrum in the 1.9– 2.2Ghz Band

    LC Paper No. CB(4)152/13-14(03) (English version only) Final report for OFCA Re-assigning the spectrum in the 1.9– 2.2GHz band Impacts on service quality and customers of adopting a hybrid between administratively-assigned and market based approach PUBLIC VERSION Network Strategies Report Number 33012. 29 August 2013 0 Executive summary This study contains an independent and objective quantitative assessment on the impact on mobile service quality and customers if the Hong Kong Government decides to adopt a hybrid approach in re-assigning the frequency spectrum in the 1.9–2.2GHz band (“3G spectrum”). The hybrid approach encompasses offering the right of first refusal to the incumbent 3G Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) for two-thirds of their existing spectrum holdings in this band (i.e. 2×10MHz) and the re-auction of the remaining one-third (i.e. 2×5MHz). 0.1 Selection of likely spectrum re-assignment scenarios We have assumed that each of the four incumbent MNOs will exercise the right of first refusal and retain two-thirds of its spectrum. This leaves one-third of each MNO’s spectrum to be re-auctioned. We consider that on balance it is unlikely that there will be substantial interest from completely new market entrants in this spectrum. However an existing MNO without 3G spectrum would be interested in obtaining spectrum in this band so we need to consider possible scenarios in which incumbent MNOs lose some of their re-auctioned spectrum to this MNO, as well as scenarios in which incumbent MNOs lose spectrum to other MNOs.
