On the other hand the analysis concluded that the increase in satellite bandwidth required for backhaul and trunking services, professional services, and the continuously increasing bitrates used for video distribution will be the main trends pushing satellite spectrum demand upwards and that most of those needs may be met by the C-band. This is a valuable band for satellite use as it contains quite a large amount of spectrum at relatively low frequencies which have superior propagation characteristics (allowing very wide coverage) and are less susceptible to rainfall and humidity (enabling signal resiliency) than higher satellite freque ...[+++]ncies.

For this reason, it is not appropriate to mandate a specific data or bit rate at Community level.

Flexibility is required to allow Member States to take measures where necessary to ensure that a data connection is capable of supporting data rates which are sufficient to permit functional internet access, as defined by the Member States, taking due account of specific circumstances in national markets, for instance the prevailing bandwidth used by the majority of subscribers in that Member State or technological feasibility, provided that these measures seek to minimize market distortion.

(17d) ‘mandate’ means the expression of consent and authorisation given, directly or indirectly, by the payer to the payee and to the payer’s payment service provider to allow the payee to initiate a collection for debiting the payer's specified payment account and to allow the payer's payment service provider to comply with such instructions;
