Last month, UK regulator Ofcom published a proposed Space Spectrum Strategy for consultation.

Consultation is open until 24 May and will focus on identifying key trends and activities in the sector affecting spectrum use, as well as further addressing NGSO satellite communication systems.

The full document can be found here.

On Tuesday 03 May, techUK is hosting a virtual focussed session with the aim to provide further detailed feedback in terms of our response to the consultation.

Please note this is a member-only roundtable to discuss Ofcom proposals. 

In advance of the session please do consider the following questions and provide a written response ahead of the session. 

Please email the responses to [email protected]  by 17:00 on Friday 29 April
