Hong Kong’s Office of the Telecommunications Authority (OFTA) has proposed that the 1895MHz-1906.1MHz band, currently allocated for Personal Handyphone System (PHS) usage, be re-allocated to help meet demand for mobile data services. PHS usage in the band is currently exempt from licensing, on the condition that it is for private use only. Having been introduced in 1996, surveys conducted in 2010 by OFTA found that PHS equipment was used sparsely in Hong Kong, predominately for home cordless telephones, with extremely limited availability for purchase, as no applications for certification of PHS apparatus had been made since 2002.
