, a comprehensive global assessment of spectrum requirements for the coming '6G' era, concludes that per country will be required in to meet mobile network capacity needs in the highest-demand urban areas, with .

The study is designed to provide guidance to regulators and policymakers as the mobile industry prepares for wide-scale 6G deployments from This is particularly important as governments negotiate future mobile bands ahead of the crucial treaty conference held by the in two years' time.

The report warns that , or risk slower speeds, rising congestion and lost economic opportunity in the 2030s. Without early government planning, consumers could face poorer connectivity, businesses may struggle to adopt new technologies, and national digital economies could lose competitiveness in the global transition to 6G.
