- " Nice hostel in centre of city. The bunks in the big dorm were very cramped though. But other than that, it was good! "
- 09 Aug 2014 Anonymous Ireland

- " Good chance to meet people in the common room. But in the (early) morning, the noise from outside is too loud, mainly from the stock delivery of restaurant next to the window. "
- 24 Jul 2014 Anonymous France
- " Location is simply perfect! Couldn't be any better! It's an older building with few bathrooms, but the ones they have are very modern and clean, and huuuuuge! I'd definitely recommend that they break some of them into smaller ones, instead of having bathtubs and bidets! Kitchen was also clean and modern (and there was one on each floor). The mattress and pillows were stained and the bedsheets were too small, but on the other sectors, the cleanliness was satisfactory! "

- " Perfect location in the center of Praha! We had a 7 beds dorm with a lot of charm and very efficient windows that kept the noise outside… The staff was kind of rude especially during the check in but anyway we didn't see them a lot during our stay… "
- 03 Jul 2014 Anonymous Switzerland
- " This place really impressed me. While there is no breakfast, everything else was awesome. The rooms were nice and clean-I thought the the hostel opened recently; the Slovakian girl (forgot her name) at reception is awesome. It's located something ~150meters/300 ft from central square....awesome location. "
- 20 Jun 2014 Algirdas USA
- " Okay, let me start by saying that this has the potential to be an amazing hostel. The location couldn't be better, it's cheap and the rooms are nice! But our stay was tainted by a ridiculous group of travelers that arrived to our room drunk at 4AM and started pissing in a locker next to a young girl's bed. Staff was immediately alerted and DID NOTHING. The group was also smoking out the room which is supposedly forbidden but they did nothing to enforce it. So, potential but needs better staff. "
- 04 Jun 2014 Anonymous USA
- 15 Apr 2014 Anonymous Spain
- " Great, cosy and clean hostel. The dorm (4 bed female) was so huge and I felt like at home. Comfortable matresses, new lockers, enough space in the room and everything was very clean. It´s right in the centre with a lot of sights in walking distance just around the corner! 100% recommendation "

Publisher: ISHI Press Author: Ken Uston Year of Publication: 2011 (2nd)
Pages: 219 Notation Type: Notationless (NO)
This book, "Ken Uston on Blackjack", is primarily concerned with the legal efforts Ken made to stop the casinos from banning card counters. Legal actions were brought in his name against the casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, New Jersey to stop them from banning card counters. The end result of these legal actions was that they were unsuccessful in Las Vegas but successful in Atlantic City. The Las Vegas Casinos still can and do ban card counters. The original edition of this book contains almost no information about how to win at Blackjack. Therefore a section has been added to explain what you really want to know, which is how we were able to win some money playing Blackjack.

New Start Ch 4 LenXLuka Final Chapter The next week went by in a haze. I felt out of it, like I was in some hazy dream. Len left. Where he went? I didn't know. And well . . . I was afraid to know. I had nightmares. I remembered Len's horrified, disappointed face when I closed my eyes. Why was it like this? Why do things have to happen?
A soft knock brought me out of my trance. I sat up rubbing my eyes. "C- Come in." I said. The first words I said in a few days. It slowly opened and Rin stood there. Rin had gone with her brother and it shocked me to see her. It also hurt. She looked a lot like him . . .
"Oh. Hey um Luka." She said nervously standing in my door way. I nodded.
"Hi Rin. Come in. Can you close the door though?" I asked. She nodded rushing forward.
"Yeah Luka." She said sheepishly sitting down on the edge of my bed. We sat there in an awkward silence for a moment.
"Rin why are you here?" I finally asked. Again a heavy silence filled the room.
Our Little Secret GakupoXLuka Please read description~ I have commsisions open also ;D
"I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant. I am pregnant." I recited to the mirror. I groaned. I couldn't do it. I couldn't tell my boyfriend! There was a knock on the bathroom door.
"Luka, you all right?" I hear his voice call. I turned and opened the door.
"Oh I'm fine, Gakupo." I said smiling at him softly. He grinned and his hands snaked around my waist. He buried his face into my hair.
"Being all secretive, are you?" His muffled voice asked. I glared at one of his stray purple hair hanging right in between my eyes. I grabbed it and yanked it out and it dropped to the floor.
"Yeooow! Why the hell did you do that?" Gakupo cried. I smiled. I stuck my tongue out at him and jumped onto the large queen sized bed. I rolled over on my side and placed my hands on my stomach. I would go to the doctor to see if the pregnancy test told the truth. That's what I would do. Gakupo jumped onto the bed and turned to face me so our noses were
A New Start- Ch. 3 LenXLukaI put my act together, eventually, and climbed out of my hiding spot. I walked into the pool room and was not surprised to Rin, Miku, and Gakupo swimming. Piko's words ran through my head. "Luka! I love your pool so much! It is amazing!" Rin chided quickly climbing out of the pool to come scurry up to me.
Why did twins have to look so . . . so alike? She reminded me to much of Len. No. I wouldn't think of Len. "Uh. Oh um you like it? I'm glad. I haven't swam in it for. . . oh two years?" I said forcing myself to giggle.
"Yeah it's really great. If I lived here I would be swimming in it like 24/7!"
"Is that so?" I asked. My mind was elsewhere. You couldn't force someone to get married right? How can you even arrange an engagement. Even if this was what my parent's wanted it's not what I want. Or is it? I mean I love Piko. But as a. . . as a brother? Why couldn't I place him somewhere in my heart?
"Hey Luka, umm, I'm sorry about you know, your family." Rin said bringing me to reality.
Our Little Secret LukaXGakupo- Part 2After the doctor's, my mind was a haze. I was pregnant? I felt too shocked to take a taxi home; well too shocked to even go home. My mind seemed to be empty, the same words echoing again and again. Before, the thought that I might be pregnant made it seem so . . . not real. Now that I knew a final fact, I didn't know what to think!
Was I ready to have a child? I'm only 21! Would Gakupo be okay with this? Does he want a child? Would he still want me?
"You're only in your first trimester, merely 9 weeks into it, so there still is the possibility to abort it if requested. While we don't recommend it, I want you to know any choice you can make it, right now. Although in here, we only allow abortions until the 16th week or about 4 months into it. If you choose to abort your baby it will cost about $300-$800. You still have 5 weeks until that is no longer possible for you. I would go home and talk about it carefully with your partner if I were you. We suggest not rushi
Spice! alt ending LenXLukaRing . . . Ring . . . I groan rolling over towards the side table. The screen read Lilly. I shot a glance at Teto who lay next to me in bed. The clock reads 4 am. That silly ring tone echoed through my mind. "Hey Babe, what's up?" I ask running a finger through the red head's curly hair. She moaned in her sleep cuddling closer to me.
"So where did you run off to? And with who?" Came the snark reply. I sighed. Stupid blondes, so clingy.
"Lilly, Lilly. Calm down sweetie. I'm not anywhere. I'm at my friend's house, you remember um Gakupo right?" I ask. Tch. Lying was so easy. Those mushy girls would believe anything.
"Really? Your not lying are you?" She asked.
"Have I ever lied to you?" I make excuses just as readily as I know how to.
"Okay . . . Hey um Saturday my parents won't be home all night, not until Sunday evening. Do you uh want to spend the night?" She asked nervously. I smiled. It's just the one night stand that I look forward too.
"Sure. He
Magnet LukaXMikuIn the deepest part of me, a tiny flame was lighted. Before I knew it, my whole heart became ignited. Wandering as a butterfly, I aimlessly took flight. I found myself falling apart alighted in your palm.
She let go of my hands entwined around her own instead I pressed my lips to hers.
"Hm Miku." Luka moaned.
"What?" I stubbornly growled.
"Len and Rin will be home soon." I shook my head letting my thin green strands fall over my eyes. Even if people say that what we have is wrong, when I'm with her I burn up all the more.
"I don't care! I want you to hold me tight! I don't want to let you go, just reassure me every night."
"Reassure you of what, Miku?" Luka gently asked planting butterfly kisses over my bare neck.
"Make me believe that no matter what they say we're in love, baby." I mutter. She threw her head back and laughed. Her eyes turned serious and she frowned.

Luka POV
"Do you remember the day we first met?" I softly whispered. "Your energetic eyes attracted me."
"Your a sheltered girl knowing nothing of the real wold. But your gently eyes attracted me." He replied with a chuckle squeezing my hand.
"Even though we fell for eachother right away, the people tore us apart." I growled darkly.
"No wonder why, since your rich and I'm not." He said his own voice mirroring my own.
"L-Len." I crooned turning towards him in his embrace.
"Luka, I-I'm sorry." He moaned. Panic shot through my body. "I- I can't stop my love for you." He looked angry. I smiled putting my hand on his chest.
"It's okay. I don't want your love to end." I whispered. He smiled running a hand through his hair. His hair bounced the moonlight across my face. His hair is a light golden blond. It's up in a loose pony tail and many strands fell loose over his

Discover the bewitching beauty of Salzburg with this flexible hop-on hop-off bus tour.
Admire the city's grand 17th and 18th century houses and the magnificent palaces and gardens. View the baroque splendor of Mirabell and see Schloss Hellbrunn, famous for the trick fountains that give unwary visitors surprise showers.
Salzburg is of course Mozart's city and the composer is widely celebrated here. Visit his childhood home in an old burgher's house and also view the residence he moved to later in life.
The city was also famously the setting for the 'Sound of Music'. Fans can find scenes from the film like the gazebo where Rolf and Liesl sang 'Sixteen Going on Seventeen' and see the Abbey where the original Maria Augusta von Trapp, whose story inspired the movie, was a teacher.
With 12 convenient stops, your hop-on hop-off tour covers all the main attractions. If you're short of time take the 1 day option; for a more leisurely experience select the 2 day package. You can also add a delightful boat cruise on the Salzach River if you wish.
There are three options for your Salzburg Hop-On Hop-Off City Tour: 1 Day Bus Tour, 2 Day Bus Tour and 1 Day Combined Bus and Boat Tour.
1 Day Bus Tour:
This tour is the perfect introduction to Salzburg. Your ticket is valid for 1 day, which will show you all the main attractions. You can join the tour at any of the stops and redeem your voucher as you board the vehicle. The tour starts at Mirabellplatz 2, next to Mirabell Gardens and University Mozarteum.
On this sightseeing tour, you will travel in a comfortable coach. As you go along, you can enjoy an informative commentary in seven different languages: German, English, Italian, French, Spain, Russian and Japanese.
Below is list of the 12 stops and some points of interest associated with each.
1. Mirabellplatz (Mozarteum): The stop for the splendid baroque Mirabell Palace and Gardens, and also for the Mozart Square with Mozart Statue and Mozart's Residence – a museum housed in the apartment where the composer and his family lived for a time in Salzburg
2. Ferdinand-Hanuschplatz: Embarcation Point for Salzburg River Cruise and Footpath to the Old Town of Salzburg
3. Herbert-von-Karajan Platz: The stop for Horse Pond, Festival Hall/House of Mozart and St. Peter's Abbey – founded 1300 years ago and one of the most interesting city churches. Also for Mozart's Birthplace – the apartment where Mozart was born, and where the Mozart family lived for 26 years
4. Stiegl Brauwelt: Stiegl World of Beer Museum – Austria's only beer museum
5. Schloss Leopoldskron: Leopoldskron Palace – a rococo palace and national monument
6. Alpensiedlung Süd Park and Ride: The embarcation point for Salzburg City Cruise
7. Schloss Hellbrunn: The stop for Hellbrunn Palace, a 400 year old Summer Palace known for its trick fountains, also for the glass Gazebo used in Sound of Music and for Salzburg Zoo
8. Gwandhaus: Gwandhaus is Salzburg's convention center
9. Nonntal: The stop for Nonnberg Abbey – the oldest women's religious house in the German-speaking world. Footpath to Fortress Hohensalzburg, the 900-year-old fortress that is the city's chief landmark and the biggest and most fully-preserved fortification in Europe
10. Mozartsteg (Imbergstr.): Capuchin Mountain and Monastery, where you can see some of the best views of Salzburg and surroundings
11. Mirabellplatz (Andräkirche): The stop for the neo-gothic St. Andrew's Church, Mirabell Palace and Gardens
12. Salzburg Main Station: Central Station of Salzburg, Statue of the Empress Elisabeth
You can choose to leave the coach at any point before the expiry of your 1 day ticket.
2 Day Bus Tour:
This tour follows the same route as the above but your ticket is valid for a full 2 days.
You can hop off the bus just as you like to go sightseeing and rejoin the tour at your convenience.
1 Day Combined Bus and Boat Tour:
This is the same as the 24-Hour Bus Tour but from May to September you can enjoy the extra pleasure of a boat cruise on the Salzach river.
The boat 'Amadeus Salzburg' is a highly modern cruise boat with a 68 passenger seating capacity. Its unique one-of-a -kind design with spacious windows allows for magnificent panoramic views. An informative commentary is available in three languages (German, English, and Italian).
The boat cruise leaves hourly from Hanuschplatz/Markartsteg from 1100h (11:00am) to 1700h (5:00pm) and the trip takes 40 minutes.
Your Combined Bus and Boat Tour ends at your convenience.
Apart from the very interesting landmarks of Salzburg the tour brought some memories of the sound of music scenes... HAMED AL-TAHER

Guestbook comments from the manager
We spent one week in this appartement and had a very good time. Only a few steps awy from the Galata- Tower, we were immediately in the middle of big city life.
The appartment is in an old building, nice and functional. Two bedrooms are big, the third is really small without window. The equipment is basic but ok.
It's good value for money.

A funny thing about Coco, the forthcoming Phaidon book wherein ten of the worlds leading chefs each pick ten of their favorite rising culinary stars: Remember when Canadian chefs signed a petition protesting the fact that none of their compatriots were included in the book? Well, they didnt succeed in getting any Canadian chefs added to the roster, but now that weve gotten a finished copy in our hands (it comes out November 15) and weve perused the bios, it turns out there were two Canucks in it all along! Something, it seems, the chefs who signed the petition never picked up on. Youd think such staunch advocates of the Canadian culinary scene wouldve known that Anna Hansen of the Modern Pantry in London was born in Montreal. (Fergus Henderson singled her out for inclusion in the book). And Hugh Acheson, a favorite of Mario Batalis, started his career in his native Ottawa (hes now the chef at the National, Five & Ten, and Gosford Wine in Athens, Georgia). As another product of Ottawa once said: Isnt it ironic?
Canadians Should've Done Their Homework Before Protesting CocoBy Daniel Maurer
It turns out that the compendium of the world's greatest chefs did include a couple of Canucks.

Craft Night
Craft Night: Screenprinting
We held our second Screenprinting Event at the studio this past weekend and it was so much fun. I love these because everyone comes with a ton of stuff to print on and there is so much energy. At the beginning of each class, my friend Andy Kane from Sparka Screenprinting gave a short tutorial on how to use the screenprinter, and then we spent most of the time printing. Uniqlo provided everyone with a kids T-shirt, but we also printed on jackets, sweatshirts & onesies. There were 8 different designs (see them all here!) by Katy Smail, Wendy MacNaughton, Amanda Jane Jones, and Emily Isabella. If you'd like to attend an Oh Happy Day Craft event, there are still some spots available in our Woodworking classes next month!
My friend Rebecca planned this event and she did an awesome job. Our snacks came from Pop Nation. They make really fun popsicle flavors and serve them out of the coolest cart. We set it up on the sidewalk so people could take a break outside.

Screenprinting Craft Weekend
I'm so excited for our Back to School screenprinting weekend event in San Francisco! If you've ever wanted to learn about screenprinting now is your chance! We did an event like this in the spring and it was one of my favorite events ever. Here is how it works: you bring as many blank tshirts or totebags as you want (plus Uniqlo is providing a free kids shirt to all attendees) and then we screenprint like crazy for a few hours plus get some instruction on how to do it yourself from our screenprinting expert Andy Kane. Attendees will walk away with piles of new printed items plus a goodie bag of treats. You'll be all set for the new school year. We are calling this a Back to School Event but of course we plan on printing on adult sized tshirts too. We've had four different designers do new designs just for this event: Katy Smail, Wendy MacNaughton, Amanda Jane Jones, and Emily Isabella. I'm so excited to share them today! They are soooo good.
The event will be August 16th and 17th and there are several sessions to choose from. Sign up here!
Craft Night: Calligraphy Class
We had our first craft event of the summer at my studio this last weekend. The first was the calligraphy event sponsored by Bing. My friend Maybelle Imasa-Stukuls taught the class. I love Maybelle's teaching style and she thinks of every little detail so every little part of the class is so beautiful. She makes everyone a calligraphy starter kit including custom-made ink holders, black ink, a pen holder, nib and a practice book and sheets. (See all the pictures below!) We've still got a few spots left in our upcoming Back to School Screenprinting Bonanza! and Woodworking classes!

Craft Night: Letterpress Class
Last week we hosted some letterpress classes at our old studio. It was fun to dust off of my letterpress and give everyone the chance to print their own cards. I started each classes with basic instructions on how to use the letterpress. Then once people started, I shared a little bit more about the basics of letterpress printing. Everyone got the chance to print 2 different cards designs (by Alix Sorrell) with red and yellow ink and all of the money from the event was donated to a local nonprofit preschool. I'm so thankful for everyone who attended – I had such a great time meeting you! More craft nights are coming, so make sure you join our mailing list to get early access to sign up!
We always have the best gift bag sponsors. This time, Knot & Bow sent over black and white versions of their glitter twine. It's the prettiest twine I've ever seen!
The Great Lakes Goods gave everyone packs of their party balloons. I love the fun sayings and designs printed on them.
Everyone got a mini pinata from Furbish. I'm in loooooove with them.
Acme Party Box sent us the cutest little milk bottles! (I also think they'd make awesome vases.)

Craft Night: Floral Design Class
Here are a few photos from our Floral Design Craft Night last week. It was so fun to host Studio Choo at our studio – they're amazing! Each class started with introductions, and I shared a few ways that Bing image search can help with finding color inspiration. Then, Alethea and Jill taught the basics of flower care and how to build floral arrangements. After their lesson, each person got to choose their own flowers and start designing their own bouquets. The Studio Choo team wandered around and gave advice and instruction. I was super impressed with everyone's creativity! Thanks to my friend Rebecca Wright for putting the evening together. We'll be announcing more craft nights soon – so stayed tuned! (And make sure to join our mailing list to get early access to sign up!)
Andrea Pimental provided the snacks: s'mores pots de creme! (Get the recipe here.) I think I ate ten.
For the goodie bags, Poppies for Grace sent over a confetti balloons and sweetheart gift kits for everyone who attended. We had a few extra, so we used them as decorations.
Paper Generation gave everyone these awesome terrarium notecards. (Plus, she hand-wrote a message on each one!)
I love these mini pom pom flowers that ban.do sent over (fits the theme, don't you think!?) And, Casey D. Sibley sent over a bunch of rad tea towels! See them all here.
Thank you so much to everyone who came and helped make this night a success! I love hosting these classes and I'm really looking forward to doing more in the future. (Are you coming to our Letterpress Craft Nights next week??)

1. Discussion Paper Assumptions
The Discussion Paper was released following the announcement by the Minister, the Honourable David Cunliffe, of an intention to auction the 2.3GHz and 2.5GHz bands "to make spectrum available for national and regional wireless services including WiMax". The stated objective is to use wireless technologies to promote competition in order to achieve faster and cheaper broadband services.
The paper then proceeds to discuss a range of detailed topics (lot design, spectrum parks, etc.), but does not consider what general approach best serves New Zealand.
The assumptions we find inherent in the Discussion Paper are:
- New Zealand lacks sufficient coverage and competition for wireless services as a consequence of insufficient licensed spectrum
- WiMax is a technology that warrants Government assistance
- New Zealand can or should develop Spectrum Plans independent of decisions made by other authorities (especially regional groups such as CEPT (Europe), APT (Asia-Pac), ASMG (Arab States), ATU (Africa) and CITEL (Americas))
- The auctioning of RF bands in this way will not disadvantage New Zealand
These assumptions are unfortunately not justified in the Paper. Ericsson believes that these are extremely important assumptions that deserve to be clearly identified and analysed in light of current and future, local and global trends.
2. Ericsson's International Observations
2.1 Global Market
The Internet has had a significant impact on society, and today there are over one billion daily users worldwide. Research has shown that ready access to communications including broadband services has a direct impact on Gross National Product (GNP). Broadband services enhance our lives in many ways, including education, industry, research and development, healthcare, telecommuting and bridging the digital divide.
There are now more than 3 billion mobile subscribers globally, and forecasts indicate that mobile traffic generated by data services will exceed that of mobile voice traffic by 2010. By the year 2012, there are expected to be 1.8 billion broadband subscribers, with around two-thirds of these being mobile broadband subscribers.
Significant growth is forecast for mobile broadband services in the future, including TV and streaming video, downloads, laptops, and portable communication devices, to name a few (Figure 1).
Figure 1 - Information services, as well as voice, will drive demand for mobile broadband (Source: Ericsson)
According to international studies, the total amount of traffic per user is estimated to grow to 50 times that of today in many markets. This presents broadband service providers with both a challenge to provide access networks to support these massive traffic volumes, and also an opportunity to invest in a technology evolution that will deliver cost-effective broadband today and into the future.
Figure 2 – Explosion in mobile broadband subscriptions is forecast
As the date rates capable in mobile telecommunications systems is largely determined by the available bandwidth and the way technology uses that spectrum it is crucial that spectrum allocations are globally harmonized and provisions made for the forecast capacity growth and evolution of the respective technologies. In the initial deployments in many countries today, mobile broadband service offerings have been deployed using a single carrier frequency (eg with a 5MHz bandwidth for 3G/WCDMA systems) for both voice and mobile broadband. As mobile broadband traffic increases, operators will require additional carrier frequencies (blocks of 5-20MHz) and new spectrum bands to meet this demand (Figure 2).
3. Technology Trends
With more than 80 per cent of the global mobile market, the GSM family has proven itself to be the dominant mobile technology. The rationale for operators migrating from cdma2000 to GSM/WCDMA has been mainly economic - it is the most competitive way to deliver voice and data services to address the future growth in mobile subscribers with cost-effective handsets.
Building on GSM/WCDMA, High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) is the evolution towards higher mobile broadband data rate in both the downlink and the uplink, as shown in Figure 3. HSPA enabled devices are widely available. Handheld terminals, PC cards, Fixed Wireless Terminals, mobile broadband modules for installation in PC notebooks and even a camera with inbuilt HSPA support have already been launched. This gives HSPA a unique economy-of-scale advantage that will drive network roll-out and mass market services and acceptance, ensured by device offerings at attractive prices. Evolved HSPA introduces simpler IP centric architecture for the mobile network and even more enhanced radio data rates.
Furthermore, Long Term Evolution (LTE) is part of the GSM/WCDMA/HSPA evolutionary path beyond 3G. LTE is an entirely new radio platform technology with standards currently under development by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standardization body, with initial deployments planned in 2009/2010. LTE uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) on the downlink, which is well suited to achieve high peak data rates in high spectrum bandwidth (downlink peak data rates up to 100 Mbps with 20 MHz bandwidth and uplink peak data rates up to 50 Mbps with 20 MHz bandwidth).
Figure 3 – 3G/WCDMA Evolution Path
4. The HSPA Market
According to analysts Strategy Analytics, it is expected that HSPA technology will represent over 70 per cent of the mobile broadband market by 2010, as shown in Figure 4. This is achievable because HSPA is the evolution of an existing, mass-market technology (WCDMA), with a huge number of deployments already underway.
HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) has been enabled on almost 75 per cent of all 3G/WCDMA networks globally. As published by the GSM Association (GSMA) for July 2007, 128 HSDPA networks have been commercially launched in more than 63 countries and a further 50 HSDPA networks are currently being deployed.
Figure 4 – HSPA will drive mobile broadband, representing over 70 per cent of market share by 2010
Currently, the only globally harmonised spectrum available for IMT-2000 technologies (such as 3G/HSPA) until at least 2015 is the 2.5GHz band.
It is therefore essential that this spectrum be preserved for meeting the demand for mainstream mobile broadband services and not unnecessarily fragmented or allocated to niche radio technologies.
4.1 WiMax Technologies
WiMax is a promising niche technology that is now being deployed in unlicensed bands of spectrum (most notably the use of 5.8GHz in Australia's OpEl network). While there are no globally harmonized standards for licensed frequencies for WiMax today, this is not an impediment to rollout should proponents wish to deploy the technology today in New Zealand.
However, the incompatibility between the TDD approach used by WiMax, and the paired-frequency FDD approach used by the mainstream mobile standards (in particular 3G/WCDMA) means that assigning WiMax frequencies within a band is likely to prohibit the use of mainstream mobile technologies, and so fragment the respective spectrum band. This will limit the opportunity of the mainstream technologies to evolve to their fastest speeds and so offer cost effective mobile broadband solutions for New Zealand.
4.2 Spectrum
According to the International Telecommunication Union, the total spectrum needed for both existing and future mobile cellular systems (including pre-IMT-2000, IMT-2000 and its enhancements, as well as IMT-Advanced) is between 1280 and 1720 MHz by the year 2020.
This implies that an additional 700-1200MHz of spectrum will be required by 2020. Multiple, competitive deployments of mobile broadband technologies in each country will increase spectrum requirements even further.
5. New Zealand Situation
5.1 New Zealand Market & Wireless Broadband
New Zealand has over recent years enjoyed more coverage by wireless broadband from more operators than most developed countries. Furthermore the introduction of wireless broadband by the mobile operators using the HSPA (high speed packet access) standards in mainstream 3G/WCDMA will add to the choices already available to New Zealanders.
If New Zealand were to adopt spectrum plans inconsistent with the globally harmonized plans, New Zealanders will suffer from:
- poor availability and high cost of network equipment and handsets
- the inability of users to roam (use the networks outside NZ)
- the inability of visitors to roam (gain access to the NZ networks)
- the resulting fragmentation of spectrum would also make it virtually impossible to revert to globally harmonized plans later and create significant economic damage
5.2 New Zealand Spectrum
New Zealand represents a relatively small market for equipment manufacturers, and decisions taken here are unlikely to shape global spectrum harmonization. However, New Zealand can only enjoy the benefits of modern wireless networks by staying well within the mainstream of globally harmonized spectrum plans, in particular WRC-2000, and WRC-2007.
Vodafone NZ already utilises 2.1GHz spectrum for WCDMA/HSPA services, and Telecom NZ has also announced plans to migrate to a WCDMA/HSPA network. In order for Telecom NZ to migrate to WCDMA, additional spectrum will be required during the transition phase, further contributing to the demand for IMT-2000 spectrum. Both operators will require increased spectrum allocations to support the significant forecasted uptake of mobile broadband services in the coming years. The
Ericsson Submission to NZ Ministry for Economic Development © Ericsson AB 2007 Steve Inglis, Country Manager (Acting), Ericsson New Zealand 8 (13)
natural plan then for both operators is to be able to easily acquire IMT-2000 spectrum to facilitate the capacity growth in their networks. We believe it is likely that the two current NZ mobile operators, will require additional spectrum in the 2.5-2.69GHz band as the popularity of mobile broadband services increases over the coming few years.
It is therefore essential that sufficient 2.5GHz spectrum is made available to both Telecom and Vodafone to ensure they are able to meet this forecast increase in mobile broadband demand given their commitment to using 3G/WCDMA/HSPA/LTE technologies.
6. Key Recommendations
We recommend refocusing on the longer term objective of securing the economic benefits that flow from full use of modern wireless/mobile communications, and in particular the proven economic benefits of supporting, or at least not hindering, mainstream IMT-2000 technologies and standards such as 3G/WCDMA.
Our recommendations are directed at maximising the economic outcome for New Zealand, in particular we wish to point out that,
- The 2.5GHz band has been accepted as an IMT-2000 Extension band for the growth of IMT (mobile telephony) with HSPA and LTE. This must be sustained in line with International practice.
- The growth in wireless/mobile broadband will make the use of the 2.5GHz for mobile/wireless broadband necessary in a few short years. It is prudent to begin the process of freeing the 2.5GHz band in the way proposed by the Discussion Paper.
- The uses of the 2.3GHz band has not yet been determined, but several regional groups (specifically APT (Asia-Pac) , ATU (Africa), and potentially ASMG (Arab States)) are supporting its use for IMT as well.
- WiMax operators will be best-served by co-ordinating their spectrum requirements with those being used in our nearest neighbour and most common roaming partner, Australia
- Full spectrum opportunities exist for the future demands of the existing 3.6 million cellular subscribers as serviced by Telecom NZ and Vodafone today
Consequently New Zealand should postpone the auction of the 2.3GHz and 2.5 GHz bands until the international position has been resolved at the coming WRC-2007 conference.
New Zealand is best served by careful alignment with the main trends of mainstream telecommunications standards, and specifically with the spectrum plans agreed on at WRC-2000 and WRC-2007. In this way New Zealand consumers will have access to the inexpensive equipment developed for much larger countries, and (via roaming) have the ability to use this equipment in other countries, as well as allowing overseas visitors to use the networks in New Zealand.
Attempts to introduce spectrum plans that are inconsistent with those adopted by the major countries and regional groups would be detrimental to New Zealand.
In recent years we have seen the consequences of the declining global market share for CDMA/EV-DO mobile services. In its most visible form this has lead to fewer handset choices for consumers as vendors preferred to realise scale economies with the dominant GSM/WCDMA standard, driven also by the globally harmonized spectrum for this technology family.
The winning strategy for New Zealand is to follow mainstream international trends as soon as possible after they are standardised.
6.1 Allocation of 2.5GHz spectrum in accordance with ITU guidelines
Since the launch of the first HSDPA network almost two years ago, there has been exponential growth of mobile broadband traffic across WCDMA/HSPA enabled networks globally.
The 2.50-2.69GHz band is of critical importance, as it is the only globally harmonized spectrum that will be available until at least 2015. It was identified as an IMT-2000 during WRC-2000, almost seven years ago.
For wide area coverage of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum should be allocated as frequency division duplex (FDD) in all areas where it is possible to pair spectrum. Hence, time division duplex (TDD) should be allocated to spectrum that is not possible to pair.
The primary reason for this recommendation is that cost per square kilometre and cost per added broadband wireless subscriber is kept to a minimum.
Furthermore, Ericsson recommends allocating spectrum according to guidelines and standards identified by ITU as IMT-2000 standards (refer Figure 5), since these standards will safeguard the best possible economies of scale, both in terms of consumer electronics as well as network infrastructure.
Figure 5 – 3GPP IMT supported frequency bands
Hence, the recommended spectrum allocation for the 2.5 to 2.69 GHz band is:
- 2500 to 2570 MHz – uplink for IMT 2000 FDD technology
- 2570 to 2575 MHz – guard band
- 2575 to 2615 MHz – allocated for TDD technology, or additional downlink FDD
- 2615 to 2620 MHz – guard band
- 2620 to 2690 MHz – down link for IMT 2000 FDD technology
The optimum size of each allocated spectrum is a trade off between number of competing operators and the efficiency gains from a less fragmented spectrum. Allocation of 10MHz or greater per operator is recommended for mobile broadband applications.
6.2 Clearing out 2.5GHz spectrum for IMT
Ericsson supports the recommendation for clearing out of the 2.5-2.69GHz band for use by IMT-2000 technology.
6.3 2.3GHz spectrum allocation
Use of the frequency band 2.3-2.4 GHz is not globally harmonised, however due to its proximity to the 2.5-2.69MHz band is extremely valuable for IMT-2000 technologies, as they are able to re-use the same device antennas and support similar radio propagation.
Ericsson recommends withholding auction of spectrum in this band until the candidate frequency band is adopted for use by IMT-2000 at WRC-2007, to avoid unnecessary allocation of valuable spectrum.
7. APPENDIX I – Responses to Specific Questions
7.1 Question 1: Considerations Relating to Lot Design
a) According to the International Telecommunication Union, the total spectrum needed for both existing and future mobile cellular systems (including pre-IMT-2000, IMT-2000 and its enhancements, as well as IMT-Advanced) is between 1280 and 1720 MHz by the year 2020. This implies that an additional 700-1200MHz of spectrum will be required by 2020.
b) No preference for MSP spectrum allocation, only that both FDD and TDD spectrum is allocated in accordance with ITU recommendations to avoid spectrum fragmentation.
c) No comment.
d) 2.5-2.69GHz band spectrum allocation should be allocated in accordance with ITU recommendations to avoid spectrum interference and fragmentation, ensuring that New Zealanders are able to benefit from the global scale of standardised CPE operating in globally harmonised spectrum.
e) No comment.
f) No comment.
7.2 Question 2: Proposed Lot Design
None of the proposed options for the 2.5-2.69 GHz band are recommended, as none are in accordance with ITU recommendations.
- Option A supports TDD spectrum allocation only, thereby restricting use to only TDD radio access technologies. This may result in insufficient spectrum being available for mainstream mobile broadband technologies (such as HSPA/LTE) in the future, resulting in the use of "niche" technologies for mobile broadband services in New Zealand.
- Option B provides greater spectrum allocation flexibility than Option A, however may lead to extremely fine-grain fragmentation of spectrum and create unwanted interference. Furthermore, the ITU recommends an allocation of 10MHz or greater for mobile broadband services.
- Option C provides more ideal lot-size allocations than either option A or B, however is not in accordance with ITU recommendations.
We would like to propose a variant of Option C which would provide similar FDD/TDD flexibility but also is aligned with ITU recommendations:
FDD uplink
2570-2620 MHz
TDD U/D link, including 5MHz guard-bands
(or FDD downlink)
2620-2690 MHz
FDD downlink
As stated previously, use of the 2.3-2.4 GHz band is not globally harmonised, and we would advise that auction of this spectrum be withheld until the candidate band is adopted for use by IMT-2000 at WRC-2007 and recommendations provided for FDD and/or TDD allocation, to avoid unnecessary allocation of valuable spectrum.
7.3 Question 3: Maori Interests
No comment.
7.4 Question 4: Eligibility to Bid
In a free market, any party should be able to bid for spectrum. However, it is essential that the auction process ensures that spectrum is not "fragmented" into small spectrum blocks, which would greatly reduce the efficiency of running mobile broadband services in this valuable spectrum.
7.5 Question 5: Duration of Acquisition Limits
Based on Ericsson's experience, it generally takes around six years from the time a standard is agreed to mass market launch of commercial services. Any special conditions associated with spectrum allocation should reflect this trend to ensure that owners are not disadvantaged.
7.6 Question 6: Use or Lose Provisions
Refer to Question 5.
7.7 Question 7: Settlement
No comment.
7.8 Question 8: Managed Spectrum Parks: Proposed Allocation Procedures and Usage Rules
No comment.
7.9 Question 9: Transition Plan for 2.5GHz Band
8 APPENDIX II - Our Credentials
Ericsson is a world-leading provider of telecommunications equipment and related services to mobile and fixed network operators globally. Over 1,000 networks in 140 countries utilise our network equipment and 40 percent of all mobile calls are made through our systems. We are one of the few companies worldwide that can offer end-to-end solutions for all major mobile communication standards.
While mobile phone networks were initially developed for telephony, the transition to digital mobile technology has made possible the use of these mobile networks for extensive wireless data connectivity. More recently the transition to GSM and then WCDMA has allowed the introduction of Mobile Internet access. Today modern 3G/WCDMA/HSPA networks are capable of providing 14Mbps connections to subscribers (an experience comparable to a good ADSL fixed broadband access). There is a clear roadmap to enhance these networks to provide 42Mbps (HSPA Evolved) in 2008 and 200Mbps (LTE) in 2009.
In Australia, Ericsson was the prime integrator of Telstra's NextG 3G/WCDMA network. The process of rolling out this network has been seen by the telecommunications industry worldwide as a "world's best practice" in the deployment of major networks.
Ericsson is also a major global supplier of other broadband technologies both wireless (WiMax 802.16d) and wireline (ADSL2+, VDSL2, GPON). In our region, Ericsson is a major supplier of fixed broadband equipment to Australian and New Zealand ISPs. Over 500,000 ADSL lines have been shipped to Australian and New Zealand ISPs.

Measures to Avoid the Transmissions of Structure-Borne Sound: Sound Sources Next to Studios
Sound sources produce both air-borne and structure-borne sound, which are transmitted via building constructions. Acoustical measures are such that the sound pressure level of structure-borne sound is reduced by introducing floating constructions on springs. For different applications, permitted levels of structure-borne sound are known and have been published. They are, for instance, related to the proper function of sensitive machinery, computer or sensitive instruments. In the same way, permitted noise values of sound, which are irradiated from the studio surfaces, must be considered. Some acoustical measures for floating floors, heavy construction with low-resonant frequencies, and sound insulating boxes are explained. Level differences as a result of different acoustical measures are involved.:

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Like so many others at the airport, Shayna Smith has a longer wait than expected.
"We are three hours delayed," said Smith.
Making her travel day difficult.
"It's hard because I have two little ones. A 3-month-old and a 3-year so trying to keep them occupied in the airport is going to be an interesting feat."
She said if it wasn't for the flight monitors, they'd have an even bigger headache.
"It's interesting because if we hadn't checked the monitors we would have been sitting at our gate and not been able to access the stores and everything," said Smith.
We saw dozens relying on those monitors Thursday, but there's even an app for that.
"On our ipads we have some apps that sometimes help us to tell them how long the delay will be, what they can expect," said Alice Oldford, with the Visitor Information desk.
"It says en route for this american airlines flight. that it was scheduled for 1025 and now scheduled to arrive at 11:44. that just helps people make a plan for their time," said Oldford.
For the Berman siblings, Wednesday night's cancellation, and Thursday's delay is putting strain on their time and money.
"Since it's going to be snowing and a lot colder than it is here, we are going to take a taxi back to our house which is kind of expensive," said Matthew Berman.
