At the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona on Monday, UK-based Vodafone, Spain's Telefónica and Telecom Italia called for measures to boost their power including a single market with common rules across Europe, lower tax and the granting of spectrum licences in perpetuity as in China and the United States.

On the consumer front, the new EU telecoms Code also includes measures intended to make it easier to change service provider and keep the same phone number; measures around tariff transparency to make it easier for people to compare contractual offers, and the ability to terminate a contract without incurring additional costs; as well as additional protections around bundled services.

Spectrum sensing is key to many applications like dynamic spectrum access (DSA) systems or telecom regulators who need to measure utilization of frequency bands.
