Shahid Mumtaz and Jonathan Rodriquez, Instituto de Telecomunica??es, Portugal

This is Great Read into the glooming spectrum use and spectrum wars coming up both in Licensed (MNO, VMNO), Lightly licensed (CBRS), Unlicensed spectrum use like -LTE-U - MuLTEfire (multefire.org) or even more radical I contend - Grey spectrum use Dynamic spectrum use..

Will MNO and TEM survie able to evolve networks at the rate of deployment, network densification with regulatory, licensing and street planning needed for such transition from 4G to world of dense radio heads

Lets see what happens as we get closer to WRC-19 and IMT2020 is born with its coming out party showcases- Summer Olympic 2020
