> Hong Kong, U.K. mull licensing WLAN spectrum
> By Anne Young, Total Telecom
>
> The Hong Kong regulator has ruled in the possibility of licensing wireless
> LAN frequencies if the currently unlicensed bands are used to provide public
> services.
>
> The U.K.-based Radiocommunications Agency is also carrying out consultation
> on the use of license-exempt spectrum for commercial services.
>
> Such a move could have implications for mobile operators that plan to roll
> out third-generation mobile services: WLAN technology has increasingly been
> seen as a possible threat to the growth of 3G, although in some cases it is
> viewed as a complementary technology.
