The radio spectrum and usable frequencies are considered limited natural resources and, as such, their assignment is highly regulated at international, regional and national level. In light of the liberalisation of the telecommunications market in Europe and its opening up to competition, it has become evident that preferential or unfair access to this limited resource may distort competition, contrary to principles of EC competition rules.. The European Union has approached this problem by establishing that regulation of the spectrum should fall, at national level, on the independent National Regulatory Authority.
