The 'Qatar Spectrum Outlook' includes CRA’s priorities related to some of its planned programmes and projects for the radio spectrum until 2022, including its plans to update the National Frequency Allocation Plan, review the radio spectrum usage fees, and the mechanism of the quality of service mobile networks audit.

During the development of the document, CRA ensured to take into consideration a wide range of factors that influence the demand for and the supply of radio spectrum, including end-user demand, technology changes or advancements, the international harmonisation of the radio spectrum, and relevant national or international policies.
