The purpose of the Spectrum Policy Forum is to be a proactive industry-led ‘sounding board’ to UK Government and Ofcom on future policy and approaches on spectrum. It is also a cross-industry ‘agent’ for promoting the role of spectrum in society and the maximisation of its economic and social value to the UK. We do this by exchanging news and views on developments in using spectrum, drawing on our industry expertise from around the world.
