I will post this question to my Linked In Group. UPDATE -- response from a Linked In contact: There is a distinct difference between "mobile" and "fixed". Many countries have earmarked 3.5 for fixed services. "Nomadic" services should be defined by the regulator in the Netherlands. However, in many countries the license holder can apply to have their license converted from "fixed" to "mobile" if they return a portion of their spectrum. There should be details within the posted regulations in Amsterdam and there should be a contact that you can inquire with there directly. Hans,

(3.5 GHz - 3.58 GHz F 1 Vaste verbindingen, FWA. Vergunningverlening via veiling of vergelijkende toets. )http://www.agentschaptelecom.nl/nfr/main_nfr.html How can they sell something that is illegal according to EZ? Is there something like a "gedoogbeleid" for mobile wimax on any frequency?
