Key issues
Access to the radio spectrum is a critical requirement for all sectors using wireless technologies, such as media, mobile
communications, defence and civil aviation. In the telecom sector, spectrum allocation decisions, spectrum harmonization and
spectrum availability are key to both equipment vendors and operators. This year, the ITU will hold the World Radiocommunication
Conference, where ITU radio regulations will be updated and the rules that will define the spectrum landscape for the years to come
will be agreed on a global basis. This report looks at how the perception of radio spectrum is evolving today and which players are
best placed to seize significant shares of spectrum assets.
