Factors in determining lot configuration
Likely future use of the 700 MHz & 2.5 GHz bands
Harmonised spectrum arrangements
Technical engineering considerations
Consultation with stakeholders
Auction format (CCA)
Population density

Lot configuration scenarios
>The ACMA has prepared a series of lot configuration ‘scenarios’ for discussion with stakeholders
>Scenarios illustrate some of the ways spectrum could be packaged
#TuneUp2011
Scenario 1 – National lots
> A single geographic area covering allof Australia
> 5 MHz paired minimum frequency lots for the 700 MHz band
> 10 MHz paired minimum frequency lots for the 2.5 GHz band

Scenario 2 – Aggregated metro and regional lots
>A single metro/regional geographic area and a single remote geographic area
>5 MHz paired minimum frequency lots for the 700 MHz band
>10 MHz paired minimum frequency lots for the 2.5 GHz band

Scenario 3 - Metropolitan, regional and remote lots>Disaggregated geographic areas based on
the population density of Australia- Individual metro areas- Regional eastern Australia areas- Regional Western Australia areas- A single remote area
