Some Tests of Spectrum Usage in Brussels, Belgium

The attached piece, published in a Belgian online law review, is an excerpt from the author's PhD dissertation completed at KU Leuven. This portion deals with empirical data of spectrum usage in Brussels and analysis of the data in the context of wireless spectrum allocation and regulation. We look at specific regulatory allocations - such as the FM radio band and the television band - and we conclude that new regulations have allowed for increased usage of this spectrum, and should continue to do so. We also see that regulations that have been ostensibly passed that prohibit broadcasting of any kind in certain frequency ranges (e.g., the military bands) have resulted in not just under use, but possibly a complete lack of use of these frequencies. We conclude that in order for us to improve the regulation and management of spectrum, we must first conduct empirical analysis of how spectrum is used.
