The government has released its proposed Statement of Strategic Priorities (SSP) for telecommunications, the management of radio spectrum, and postal services. This is a key document that will guide Ofcom’s regulatory approach over the coming years and through the consultation response to the SSP a chance for industry to feed in views on the direction of travel for telecoms regulation.

Join techUK for a member-only webinar where we will:

  • Unpack the draft SSP on areas including connectivity, investment, innovation, resilience, and competition
  • Discuss the implications for fixed, mobile, and emerging infrastructure technologies
  • Gather initial member feedback to shape techUK’s formal response

This is an important opportunity for members to inform government thinking on the future regulatory landscape and ensure that industry’s voice is heard on issues from rollout and resilience to innovation and inclusion.

Whether you’re a network operator, vendor, or involved in digital infrastructure more broadly, your input will help us advocate for a strategic framework that supports a world-class, future-ready telecoms sector.

Who should attend?

  • Telecoms policy and regulatory professionals
  • Public affairs and government relations leads
  • Infrastructure strategy teams
  • Legal and compliance stakeholders in the connectivity ecosystem
