  Abstract

This paper uses spectrum holdings distributions of OECD countries in 2010 and 2017 to analyzes the changes in spectrum concentration and to estimate the effect of spectrum concentration on market competition. It is shown that spectrum holdings distributions of many OECD countries including Korea became less concentrated during those years. It is also shown that relaxing the spectrum concentration has positive effect on promoting market competition. The analysis of this paper can be applied to 5G spectrum policy especially for lower frequency band, because spectrum holdings can be hardly concentrated in mmW band and because the higher network investment cost in higher frequency band can reduce the effect of relaxing spectrum concentration.
