Under the proposal, up to one‑third of the band would be reserved for use by non‑European operators, another third would be earmarked for military and other government services under an EU‑based operator, and the remaining third would be opened to commercial use, split evenly between new European operators and existing operators (including non‑European). EU Commissioner Henna Virkkunen emphasized the need to protect European investment and innovation in the spectrum during a press conference in Brussels.
