Bringing together policymakers with key stakeholders across the telecoms and audio-visual media sectors, this seminar examined the development of UK spectrum policy. It took place as demand pressures continued to increase - as highlighted in Ofcom’s Communications Market Report - and as future allocation is being discussed.
Sessions considered key advances in dynamic spectrum use, sharing and 5G, including next steps for overcoming the technological and commercial barriers, in order to develop these methods of increasing capacity.
Further sessions examined the possibility of further spectrum re-allocation and band auctions in light of increased pressures from the continued rollout of 4G and as more consumers migrate to online to consume content, as well as considering the priorities for regulators and policymakers including the creation of a centralised management service for public sector spectrum, encouraging innovative technologies and raising capital for the Exchequer.
