Shared spectrum continues to emerge as a primary tool for wireless and mobile operations.
Cable operators can overlay the shared spectrum offered by Citizens Broadband Radio Service to add 4G radios on their Wi-Fi hotspots (indoor and outdoor) to create a facilities-based 4G infrastructure supporting their mobile virtual network operator operations.
Mobile operators can do the same and overlay CBRS assets on the existing mobile infrastructure; aggregate licensed and unlicensed spectrum and aggregate 4G and 5G spectrum assets using dynamic spectrum sharing.
In other cases some operators might use licensed shared access to support other tenants, where excess spectrum is available and a willing customer exists. TV White Spaces will allow internet service providers to provide fixed internet access using fallow TV broadcasting spectrum.
All of those instances have business model implications as they invariably reduce the costs of acquiring and using spectrum.
