Vodacom boosts LTE speed

Let me rephrase:

By LAW, secondary trading of spectrum is not allowed.

Will digital migration free up enough spectrum to meet demand for LTE (and I am assuming that demand for LTE will pick up at a rate that coincides with digital dividend) or is proper spectrum planning needed across the board to prevent a big hiccup down the line?

Freeing the digital dividend is just part of proper spectrum planning, so it's very important to get the long-term plan right.

Knee-jerk, ad-hoc, stop-start planning is bound to perpetuate the inefficiencies.
