6  Supporting service continuity for end users, particularly where no alternative service is available

The Government recognises the important role that spectrum in the 700 MHz, 850 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2 GHz, 2.3 GHz, 2.5 GHz, and 3.4 GHz bands has in mobile network operators and fixed wireless broadband service providers' existing network coverage, and the importance of these services in the provision of communications services to end users.
The ACMA should consider the potential impact that certain decisions made in relation to applications for renewal of spectrum licences may have on end users, particularly where no, or limited, alternative communications services would be available. Such decisions could include refusal to renew one or more spectrum licences, renewal of one or more spectrum licences with changed conditions (including core conditions), re-allocation of spectrum licences, and re-allocation of spectrum covered by one or more expiring spectrum licence.
