The low cost of the BWA/WiMAX spectrum compared to 3G is a clear driver for service providers to enter the field of wireless services with BWA/WiMAX. This difference in cost/Hz is particularly significant in Europe, where the average 3G spectrum cost/Hz is 1000 times higher than the average BWA/WiMAX spectrum cost/Hz. The proportion is smaller in other regions, but remains in favor of BWA/WiMAX. It is important to highlight that the aggregate 3G spectrum is in lower frequency bands than the aggregate BMA/WIMAX spectrum. This shifts the cost/Hz on a deployed equipment basis, due to the requirement for at least twice the equipment for each doubling of the frequency.
