quantitative assessments to help businesses, regulators and policy makers make major strategic and regulatory decisions. We work with our clients to develop creative and sustainable solutions to the challenges facing them in a constantly changing environment.\r\n \r\nAetha helps operators and regulators to analyse the opportunities and threats arising out of changes (whether real or proposed) in their radio spectrum holdings. Throughout the recent unprecedented growth of wireless services, Aetha's staff have been at the forefront of spectrum policy. Our consultants have assisted regulators to award spectrum and develop regulatory frameworks, including supporting the European Commission to tackle issues such as spectrum trading and the digital dividend.\r\n\r\nWe also support operators to understand their spectrum needs, value spectrum and bid in auctions. Each year we support 10-15 bidders in spectrum auctions - a total of over 80 award processes between mid-2011 and 2017 across all regions of the world. Our technical knowledge, combined with our rigorous valuation modelling approach, ensures that our clients are comprehensively prepared for auctions.                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                                    <div class=\"smls-inline-gallery-detail-wrap\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                <div class=\"smls-popup-second-content-wrap clearfix\">\r\n                    <div class=\"smls-popup-third-content-wrap clearfix\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"smls-popup-wrap  smls-overlay-title-center\" >\r\n             \r\n        <div class=\"smls-only-image-wrap\">\r\n                            <img decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/mena-spectrum.com\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NERA-wordpress-logo.png\">\r\n                <div class=\"smls-overlay-all-wrap\">\r\n                                                <div class=\"smls-overlay-title\">\r\n                                NERA Economic Consulting                            <\/div>\r\n                                                <a class=\"smls-popup-icon\" href=\"#smls-popup-inline-921873221\" rel=\"smls-popup\" >\r\n                        <span>\r\n                                                            <i class=\"fa fa-search\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\r\n                                                        <\/span><\/a>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"smls-overlay-wrap\"><\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n        <div id=\"smls-popup-inline-921873221\" class=\"smls-hide\">\r\n            <div class=\"smls-popup-content-wrap smls-popup-template-2\">\r\n                <div class=\"smls-first-content-wrap clearfix\">\r\n                    <div class=\"smls-popup-logo-image\">\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mena-spectrum.com\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NERA-wordpress-logo.png\">\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                    <div class=\"smls-only-content-wrap\">\r\n                        <div class=\"smls-logo-description-heading\">\r\n                            Knowledge Partner                        <\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"smls-logo-sub-heading\">\r\n                            www.nera.com                        <\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"smls-logo-description\">\r\n\r\n                            NERA Economic Consulting is a global firm of experts dedicated to applying economic, finance, and quantitative principles to complex business and legal challenges.

Delegates at that event were asked what they thought would be the most prominent issue at WRC-23, and overwhelmingly voted for the UHF band (40%), with 3.3-3.8GHz (21%) in second place, and 6GHz (21%) third. Now almost 18 months on and with preparations for WRC-23 moving ahead at pace, this session will bring together experts from across different stakeholder groups to discuss the progress that has been made on preparatory work and preliminary studies in these key areas and more. With Covid restrictions meaning that preparatory meetings and discussions have been taking place online rather than in person, it will look at the challenges that this has caused, at the extent to which progress is on track, and the work that still needs to be done to ensure a successful outcome for WRC-23 for the ASMG region and more broadly. At the end of the session, delegates will once again be asked to vote on what they see as being the most prominent issue at WRC, to see whether opinions have changed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the latest updates with regards to the work that is being done to prepare for WRC-23 in the ASMG region?

the rollout of networks. And whilst others in the region are a little further back in their 5G journey, progress is continuing at pace across the region to identify spectrum for 5G and start the development of national 5G roadmaps. With the rollout and evolution of 5G services continuing to move forward in this way, this session will take stock and provide an update of where we currently are and look at examples of best practice and lessons that can be taken from experiences in 5G rollout so far. It will also look at the next stages in 5G evolution across the region, and the expected timeframe ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the latest state of play with regards to 5G rollout across the region? What awards have taken place so far, and what plans and roadmaps are being set for future releases?<\/li>\n<li>What are the steps that countries need to go to through in order to reach the goal of widespread 5G adoption? What examples of best practice in 5G licencing and network deployment have been seen, and what lessons can be learnt from experiences so far?<\/li>\n<li>What work is being done to promote and find the required investment in 5G across the region and how can regulators help to facilitate an environment that encourages this?<\/li>\n<li>How should countries be looking to balance the need to bring 5G spectrum to market alongside the continuing priority of rolling out 4G across the region?<\/li>\n<li>How can administrations ensure that mobile and other access network operators such as satellite work together with local connectivity providers such as Wi-Fi to successfully deliver the 5G future?<\/li>\n<li>What are the next steps in 5G deployment and rollout?

The WiFi community argue that there are numerous social and economic benefits of making the band available on a licence-exempt basis, and that it is vital to help address the digital divide, improving rural connectivity and accelerate economic innovation. At the same time however, with demand for spectrum for mobile on the rise, the IMT community has argued that the potential that the 6GHz band has to provide contiguous bandwidth of 1200 MHz as an ideal option to provide mid-band capacity for the expansion of 5G. With positions now emerging in countries across the ASMG region and globally on their approaches on the future of the band, this session will look at the current situation in the region and discuss the best way forward for countries looking to make the optimal use of the valuable bandwidth that is available.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What approaches to the 6GHz band are being seen from different countries across the region and what trends are emerging?<\/li>\n<li>How can the socio-economic benefits of the 6GHz band be best maximised for countries in the MENA region?<\/li>\n<li>How can regulators ensure a \u2018future-proof\u2019 approach to the band, which ensures the best use of this key spectrum in the short, medium, and long-term future?<\/li>\n<li>With spectrum already available for 5G in the region both across the C-band and also in other bands such as the 2.3GHz and 2.6GHz bands, how much additional spectrum is still required to meet the full socio-economic benefits of mid-band 5G spectrum?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent is co-existence between incumbent and potential new users such as WiFi and 5G feasible?

It is seen as one of the critical bands for the launch of 5G services, and also for the delivery of satellite services across large sections of the Arab states. This session will look at the current shape of the band, and future plans for its use by different stakeholders. It will look at progress that has been made in the 3.4 &#8211; 3.6 GHz portion of the band, where 5G networks have been rolled out in a number of countries in the region following its allocation for IMT at WRC-19, but where spectrum still remains unallocated in other countries. It will also look at discussions around the 3-3 &#8211; 3.4 GHz and 3.6 &#8211; 3.8 GHz bands, which are being studied for co-primary use for IMT at WRC-23. And finally, will examine the long-term future of the 3.8 &#8211; 4.2 GHz frequencies, where discussions in Europe and elsewhere have been taking place on possibly licencing parts of the band for 5G use on either a local or national basis.

Moves have been taken in some countries however to look to reallocate this spectrum to provide additional low-band coverage for 5G. In the Arab region, Saudi Arabia have become the first country to move forward with these plans, with an auction in the band expected in mid 2022. This session will look at the current thinking across the region with regards to the future of this key band. It will examine the extent to which there is a requirement in the region for additional low-band converge spectrum for 5G, and at how the needs for this can be met alongside safeguarding the needs of other key users of UHF spectrum such as broadcasters, PPDR and PMSE.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the current thinking regarding the 470-694 MHz band in countries across the Arab region?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent is there still a need to identify additional spectrum in these lower bands as coverage bands for IMT?<\/li>\n<li>What potential is there for spectrum sharing to be introduced in the UHF frequencies, and what different models and techniques could be explored to deliver this?<\/li>\n<li>How important is the 600MHz band for terrestrial broadcasters across the region? How can the needs of broadcasters, PPDR, PMSE and other key users of UHF spectrum be safeguarded whilst also meeting the need for low-band coverage spectrum for 5G?<\/li>\n<li>What band plans and frequency arrangements are being seen in countries around the world who have taken the decision to allocate the 470-694 MHz band for IMT?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 4iii: The future shape of the 470-694 MHz band &#8211; Balancing the needs of all key users image\" src=\"https:\/\/mena-spectrum.com\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Richard-womersley-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Moderator: Richard Womersley                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Managing Director, LS telcom                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>Richard has over 20 years consulting and business experience working in the radio spectrum management, public telecommunications, digital broadcasting and satellite industries.

enables\u00a0regulatory certainty for existing spectrum users to grow and innovate whilst also enabling the opportunity for new services to emerge. Strategies to deliver this must be flexible enough to react to changes and developments in the market and in technologies, but also provide the regulatory certainty to encourage investment. This session will look at how the goals can be delivered, and at the extent to which traditional spectrum regulatory and licencing regimes are sufficiently flexible to meet the requirements of an innovative and fast-moving sector. It will explore options for administrations looking to streamline models for spectrum licencing, access and general regulation, and how this can help contribute to innovation and growth within the mobile, satellite and other key sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What new innovations and technologies are emerging within communication stakeholders in the satellite, mobile and other key sectors?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How are these technological developments and innovation driving demand for spectrum, and to what extent is there a need to revisit the approach to spectrum management across the region to ensure the regulatory and licencing frameworks can keep pace?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can regulators across the region be doing to help deliver an environment that encourages both innovation and competition to thrive?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What examples of best practice in forward looking and flexible spectrum regimes are being seen both across the Arab region and elsewhere, and what impact has been seen in helping innovation to thrive?

         <p>Whilst the rollout of 5G networks continues, attention around the world is already starting to switch to what comes next, and the path towards B5G and eventually 6G\/IMT2030. As the journey towards this next phase of future wireless connectivity begins, this session will focus on what this evolution of the connectivity landscape will look like, and at what needs to be done to ensure that the power of wireless can continue to push our world forward. It will look at the expected evolution of services over the next decade, and the expectations and visions for next generation technologies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the path beyond 5G going to look like, and what early work is already being done around the world to shape this?<\/li>\n<li>What new use cases are going to emerge as we move towards next generation environments, and how may their connectivity requirements differ from those of 5G? What mix of low, mid and high frequency spectrum will be needed to meet these?<\/li>\n<li>With demand for spectrum set to continually increase as we move beyond 5G, how can a \u2018squeeze\u2019 be avoided? Can this be alleviated by moving into the terahertz frequencies and other bands that have traditionally been considered as unusable?<\/li>\n<li>What role can spectrum sharing and other methods of increasing spectrum efficiency play?<\/li>\n<li>How can the needs of other users in key frequencies be balanced with the bandwidth that is required for IMT as we move beyond 5G?<\/li>\n<li>What role can non-terrestrial technologies play in helping to deliver cost-effective and high-capacity connectivity in future wireless networks?<\/li>\n<li>What scope is there for increased collaboration between mobile and satellite providers, and the emergence of hybrid terrestrial-satellite systems?<\/li>\n<li>How can stakeholders in the MENA region work together to ensure that the leadership position that the region currently holds in 5G deployment carries over as we move to next-generation systems?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n

A rapidly increasing number of NGSO and SmallSat networks are being launched alongside more traditional GSO networks. Earth Stations in Motions (ESIMs) connectivity is making huge advancements driven by innovation both on the ground and in space. High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) and HAPS as IMT base stations (HIBS) are increasingly being considered as viable options to provide broadband connectivity in remote locations. This brings a range of new exciting opportunities, but also a number of regulatory challenges as policymakers look to ensure that the licencing rules and frameworks that govern access to spectrum for these key technologies keeps pace with the needs of this rapidly evolving and increasingly crowded sector. This session will explore the connectivity needs of the innovative new non-terrestrial technologies and business models that are emerging today.

Delegates at that event were asked what they thought would be the most prominent issue at WRC-23, and overwhelmingly voted for the UHF band (40%), with 3.3-3.8GHz (21%) in second place, and 6GHz (21%) third. Now almost 18 months on and with preparations for WRC-23 moving ahead at pace, this session will bring together experts from across different stakeholder groups to discuss the progress that has been made on preparatory work and preliminary studies in these key areas and more. With Covid restrictions meaning that preparatory meetings and discussions have been taking place online rather than in person, it will look at the challenges that this has caused, at the extent to which progress is on track, and the work that still needs to be done to ensure a successful outcome for WRC-23 for the ASMG region and more broadly. At the end of the session, delegates will once again be asked to vote on what they see as being the most prominent issue at WRC, to see whether opinions have changed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the latest updates with regards to the work that is being done to prepare for WRC-23 in the ASMG region?

With the rollout and evolution of 5G services continuing to move forward in this way, this session will take stock and provide an update of where we currently are and look at examples of best practice and lessons that can be taken from experiences in 5G rollout so far.

The WiFi community argue that there are numerous social and economic benefits of making the band available on a licence-exempt basis, and that it is vital to help address the digital divide, improving rural connectivity and accelerate economic innovation. At the same time however, with demand for spectrum for mobile on the rise, the IMT community has argued that the potential that the 6GHz band has to provide contiguous bandwidth of 1200 MHz as an ideal option to provide mid-band capacity for the expansion of 5G. With positions now emerging in countries across the ASMG region and globally on their approaches on the future of the band, this session will look at the current situation in the region and discuss the best way forward for countries looking to make the optimal use of the valuable bandwidth that is available.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What approaches to the 6GHz band are being seen from different countries across the region and what trends are emerging?<\/li>\n<li>How can the socio-economic benefits of the 6GHz band be best maximised for countries in the MENA region?<\/li>\n<li>How can regulators ensure a \u2018future-proof\u2019 approach to the band, which ensures the best use of this key spectrum in the short, medium, and long-term future?<\/li>\n<li>With spectrum already available for 5G in the region both across the C-band and also in other bands such as the 2.3GHz and 2.6GHz bands, how much additional spectrum is still required to meet the full socio-economic benefits of mid-band 5G spectrum?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent is co-existence between incumbent and potential new users such as WiFi and 5G feasible? What potential challenges would this present and how could these be overcome?<\/li>\n<li>Is there a solution that would ensure that sufficient spectrum in the band is available for both WiFi and IMT users?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 4i: What does the future hold for the 6GHz band in the Arab region? image\" src=\"https:\/\/mena-spectrum.com\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Cameron-Currin-120x120.jpeg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Moderator: Cameron Currin                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            Manager, Aetha Consulting                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-19\">\n<p>Cameron has a wide range of experience in areas including network cost modelling, transaction support and spectrum policy\/management, working on behalf of both telecoms regulators and operators.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-20\">\n<p class=\"Normalwithbreak\">Cameron has particular expertise in the area of spectrum management and has supported clients ahead of many spectrum awards and transactions.

It is seen as one of the critical bands for the launch of 5G services, and also for the delivery of satellite services across large sections of the Arab states. This session will look at the current shape of the band, and future plans for its use by different stakeholders. It will look at progress that has been made in the 3.4 &#8211; 3.6 GHz portion of the band, where 5G networks have been rolled out in a number of countries in the region following its allocation for IMT at WRC-19, but where spectrum still remains unallocated in other countries. It will also look at discussions around the 3-3 &#8211; 3.4 GHz and 3.6 &#8211; 3.8 GHz bands, which are being studied for co-primary use for IMT at WRC-23. And finally, will examine the long-term future of the 3.8 &#8211; 4.2 GHz frequencies, where discussions in Europe and elsewhere have been taking place on possibly licencing parts of the band for 5G use on either a local or national basis.

Moves have been taken in some countries however to look to reallocate this spectrum to provide additional low-band coverage for 5G. In the Arab region, Saudi Arabia have become the first country to move forward with these plans, with an auction in the band expected in mid 2022. This session will look at the current thinking across the region with regards to the future of this key band. It will examine the extent to which there is a requirement in the region for additional low-band converge spectrum for 5G, and at how the needs for this can be met alongside safeguarding the needs of other key users of UHF spectrum such as broadcasters, PPDR and PMSE.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the current thinking regarding the 470-694 MHz band in countries across the Arab region?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent is there still a need to identify additional spectrum in these lower bands as coverage bands for IMT?<\/li>\n<li>What potential is there for spectrum sharing to be introduced in the UHF frequencies, and what different models and techniques could be explored to deliver this?<\/li>\n<li>How important is the 600MHz band for terrestrial broadcasters across the region? How can the needs of broadcasters, PPDR, PMSE and other key users of UHF spectrum be safeguarded whilst also meeting the need for low-band coverage spectrum for 5G?<\/li>\n<li>What band plans and frequency arrangements are being seen in countries around the world who have taken the decision to allocate the 470-694 MHz band for IMT?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 4iii: The future shape of the 470-694 MHz band &#8211; Balancing the needs of all key users image\" src=\"https:\/\/mena-spectrum.com\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Richard-womersley-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Moderator: Richard Womersley                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            Managing Director, LS telcom                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <p>Richard has over 20 years consulting and business experience working in the radio spectrum management, public telecommunications, digital broadcasting and satellite industries.

Strategies to deliver this must be flexible enough to react to changes and developments in the market and in technologies, but also provide the regulatory certainty to encourage investment. This session will look at how the goals can be delivered, and at the extent to which traditional spectrum regulatory and licencing regimes are sufficiently flexible to meet the requirements of an innovative and fast-moving sector. It will explore options for administrations looking to streamline models for spectrum licencing, access and general regulation, and how this can help contribute to innovation and growth within the mobile, satellite and other key sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What new innovations and technologies are emerging within communication stakeholders in the satellite, mobile and other key sectors?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How are these technological developments and innovation driving demand for spectrum, and to what extent is there a need to revisit the approach to spectrum management across the region to ensure the regulatory and licencing frameworks can keep pace?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can regulators across the region be doing to help deliver an environment that encourages both innovation and competition to thrive?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What examples of best practice in forward looking and flexible spectrum regimes are being seen both across the Arab region and elsewhere, and what impact has been seen in helping innovation to thrive?

A rapidly increasing number of NGSO and SmallSat networks are being launched alongside more traditional GSO networks. Earth Stations in Motions (ESIMs) connectivity is making huge advancements driven by innovation both on the ground and in space. High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) and HAPS as IMT base stations (HIBS) are increasingly being considered as viable options to provide broadband connectivity in remote locations. This brings a range of new exciting opportunities, but also a number of regulatory challenges as policymakers look to ensure that the licencing rules and frameworks that govern access to spectrum for these key technologies keeps pace with the needs of this rapidly evolving and increasingly crowded sector. This session will explore the connectivity needs of the innovative new non-terrestrial technologies and business models that are emerging today.
