<p>The spectrum at 2.3 GHz is currently managed by the Ministry of Defence. MOD plan to release around 40 MHz for sale or sharing as part of their contribution to our stated aim of releasing 500 MHz of sub-5 GHz public sector spectrum to new uses. Government is aware of the benefits of sharing spectrum as a most effective way to ensure efficient use of spectrum. Careful consideration is given to whether the spectrum should be released for new use or for sharing as both promote optimal use of spectrum and meet the target Government has set for release. When final decisions over this band have been taken we expect that MOD will publish details.</p>
