Bespoke research and consultancy

| Martin Sims

Does your organisation need specifically researched information about a spectrum-related issue? PolicyTracker has unique experience of spectrum policy and management issues worldwide and our consulting arm can provide research tailored to meet your requirements.

Why spend hours finding and decoding obscure documents when our researchers may have read them already? Why waste time seeking data for cross-country comparisons when we may have it to hand? PolicyTracker's research services can save you time and money. We are rigorous and impartial with skills based on decades of experience in analysing the sector.

The right hand column gives more details about some of our recent projects. We have also been part of consortia proving consultancy for regulators around the world, including the European Commission, CST in Saudi Arabia and the Communications Commission of Kenya
