I. Additional SpectrumI. Additional SpectrumA Fundamental approachA Fundamental approach
– Access Spectrum (for 2G, 3G, 4G and beyond) can be considered as shortage for today or very near future. It leads to poor service quality to subscriber. We need regulator to rush on spectrum auction ASAP.
– Backhaul Spectrum (e.g. E-Band) is also important to built the infrastructure supporting the expansion of Access network.

II. Spectrum SharingII. Spectrum SharingMake it more efficientMake it more efficient
Technology and product in the market already aware and have enough capability to support the spectrum sharing operation. It makes use of limit resource like spectrum more efficient.
Some example of countries applied spectrum sharing : Spain, Canada, Poland, Australia, Sweden

III. Infrastructure SharingIII. Infrastructure SharingSupport fast roll-out and country cost savingSupport fast roll-out and country cost saving
Not only passive sharing, but also active sharing (i.e. Radio Base Station, Network Component, Transmission ) can help saving the vase of double or even triple investment and resources.
Fast wireless network penetration to all citizen and saving overall National’s expenditure.

IV. MVNOIV. MVNO
Today NBTC already set up the rule for retail service so call “Thin MVNO”
However for more opportunity to new comer, the more complicated form of MVNO may need to be supported by regulator

Last but not least Last but not least Competitions bring Benefit ConsumersCompetitions bring Benefit Consumers– It is proven from all market in the
world, competition between mobile network operators as well as with the OTT increasingly generate benefit to consumers
– Controlling price can be one solution to be regulated to support introducing on new comer. However, too tight control will limit new service innovations
– This is important to find a balance between supreme market competition and too tight price regulation.
