Reasoned by the duplicities of the approaches the paper aims to compare among the qualities and justifications of both sharing approaches, LSA and ASA. Especially the comprehensive approach provided by the framework of LSAas amended by CEPT and ECis highlighted, noting the relevant circumstances of both entities. Additional focus has been placed on the draft ECC Decision on "Harmonised technical and regulatory conditions for the use of the band 2.3 -2.4 GHz for MFCN" [1] and its background, especially on its requested implementation via the LSA concept.
