Confirmed the list. Also checked against another source [1].

The 2 GHz band is now governed by ERC Recommendation 70-03 [6] with the
withdrawal of ERC Decision ERC/DEC/(01)07 by ECC Decision (11)05 [3].

Looks correct.

ERC Recommendation 70-03 annex 3 also includes the 60GHz range (57-71 GHz).
Can you check that? We would need some other source of information like
the WiFi Alliance page to verify that the countries have adopted the
decision. I don't think the CEPT decisions are directly binding.

The end of the document also has a table of the implementation status
of some bands in some countries. It is obvious the table is not complete.

Looks correct.

This doesn't seem to be the latest version. The online version is here:

This should start at 2400 for all the newly added countries.
