Future use of the upper 6 GHz frequency band

Summary

Original text of the question(s):<br /> <br /> What concerns, arguments and tips finally led the Federal Ministry for Digital and State Modernization (BMDS) to change its position in the short term to advocate within the Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG) to allocate the entire frequency band between 6,425 and 7,125 megahertz (MHz) to mobile communications and no bandwidth at all to WLAN (see "Tagesspiegel Background" from November 12, 2025) - although it is loud State Secretary Dr. Markus Richter gives good arguments for both positions (see SZ dossier from October 30, 2025) - and how does the federal government assess the RSPG recommendation of November 12, 2025 (please also explicitly take into account the RSPG proposal to "freeze" 160 MHz until the World Radio Conference in 2027) against the background of the federal government's goal of promoting efficient shared use of the upper 6 GHz frequency band (GHz: Gigahertz) through WLAN and mobile communications as well as through existing services (see the Federal Government's answer to Written Question 133 from MP Donata Vogtschmidt on Bundestag printed matter 21/747)?<br /> <br /> What personal conversations or correspondence took place between representatives of the federal government and associations between the swearing-in of the federal ministers and the (parliamentary) state secretaries on May 6, 2025 until the publication of the RSPG recommendation on the future use of the upper 6 GHz frequency band? Institutions and/or companies where the release or allocation of the upper 6 GHz frequency range (6,425 to 7,125 MHz) was discussed (please break it down according to dates, participants and discussion content)?<br /> <br /> Is the federal government planning further measures, programs, votes, dialogue formats (e.g. technical discussions, consultations, broadly interpreted) and projects (including milestones) after the RSPG recommendation has been submitted for the future use of the upper 6 GHz frequency band (6,425 to 7,125 MHz) until the final determination by the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) and the European Commission, and if so, what are they specifically?
