Wireless access policy for electronic communications services (WAPECS): Collision between theory and practice ?
The development of WAPECS was driven by the European Commission and a few European countries. WAPECS may contradict the efficient use of spectrum. The telecommunications industry did not like the high costs and uncertainty associated with WAPECS. WAPECS has had a positive impact of removing technology designations from CEPT decisions. International Radio Regulations can only accommodate WAPECS to a certain extent.
