A coalition of 58 internet providers and tech industry groups has urged the EU to open the upper 6GHz band for unlicensed Wi-Fi use, challenging telecom operators lobbying to reserve the same spectrum for future 5G and 6G mobile networks.
In a letter seen by Reuters, the Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (DSA) called on EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen and the European Commission to allow unrestricted Wi-Fi access to the upper 6GHz band, warning that failure to do so could hinder Europe’s digital competitiveness. The group argued that Wi-Fi not only delivers internet access but also powers a growing array of connected devices, from smart TVs and appliances to industrial IoT systems.
With consumer demand for high-speed connectivity soaring, service providers are competing for limited spectrum. The DSA warned that without additional unlicensed spectrum, European businesses could face rising costs and reduced access to next-gen technologies, putting them at a global disadvantage. "Europe is already behind other regions in adopting the latest Wi-Fi standards," the group noted.
In contrast, earlier this month, 12 major telecom firms urged the EU to prioritize the same 6GHz band for exclusive use by mobile networks. While countries like the U.S., Canada, and South Korea have already opened parts of the 6GHz spectrum for Wi-Fi, Europe has remained cautious.
DSA President Martha Suarez emphasized that Wi-Fi handles the majority of internet traffic indoors and remains the primary connection method for users. "There's a lot of hype around 5G and 6G, but we must not ignore how people really connect online," Suarez said.
The EU’s upcoming Digital Networks Act, expected by late 2025, will address spectrum allocation. The Radio Spectrum Policy Group is set to meet on June 17.
