A new podcast and happy holidays!

We're doing two traditional things together: a review of the year and sending Christmas wishes!

| Martin Sims

The first traditional activity is to reflect on the events of the past 12 months in the spectrum world, and this year we are doing this in a podcast as well as an article.

In the latest podcast episode, our analysts and journalists nominate the top five spectrum stories of the year. Is it the commercial, regulatory, technical or social significance that puts a story in the top slot? Or a combination? Find out below!

Don’t forget we want your views as well: vote here in our online poll.

The second tradition is to wish all our readers a very happy holiday season. As ever, we are extremely grateful for your support and for sharing your insights into spectrum policy, without which there would be no PolicyTracker!

Instead of sending Christmas cards, we have made charitable donations to the Trussel Trust, which provides foodbanks here in the UK, and to Unicef‘s global work promoting children’s health, safety and education.

We hope you enjoy our podcast and enjoy the celebrations as well as having a welcome rest!
