week said. The GSMA suggested the ranges 470-694 MHz, 1300-1527 MHz, 2.7-2.9 GHz and 3.4-4.2 GHz. It said 1400-1427 MHz would likely need to be protected. The GSMA said the needs of developing countries should be taken into account when considering bands to spur international mobile telecom. Bands that can help drive international harmonization, thus lower costs, should be considered, it said. Bands that help with coverage, capacity and the ability to deliver very high bit rates should also be considered, it said. GSMA wants candidate bands selected from 470 to 694 GHz. It referred to the needs of developing nations. Coverage could also be cost effectively spurred using bands up to 1.6 GHz, it said. Capacity could be boosted using bands between 1 and 4 GHz, the association said. Data speeds could be further enhanced using bands between 2 and 6 GHz, it said.
