The most high-profile agenda item under the final chapter of the CPM Report is AI 10, the agenda for future conferences. This chapter also considers several procedural and politically-sensitive issues. Read more...

Regulators are examining evolving spectrum management tools – database-driven spectrum assignment and interference management, coupled with spectrum sensing capabilities – to facilitate spectrum sharing. Policy planners must closely monitor developments in this space and consider adapting sharing models in accordance with national and band-specific conditions. Read more...

US spectrum policy continues to be dominated by a potential windfall for satellite companies at 3.7 – 4.2 GHz,  but do wider public benefits outweigh any private gain? We examine this case and other recent examples. Read more...

Spectrum auctions have become the default mechanism for assigning high-value frequencies around the world, but the past five years have seen growing concern about the possible impact of steep auction prices on investment, consumer prices, mobile network coverage and 5G rollout. Are some governments becoming wary? Read more...

There is no globally harmonized spectrum for IoT, and there is no indication that this situation will change. IoT spectrum considerations therefore remain in the hands of national regulators. Read more...

A lack of national-level spectrum policy is stymieing the development of the commercial drone industry. This is despite the progressive identification of spectrum for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) at the international-level and ongoing innovation supporting innumerable use cases for commercial drones. In this second note of a two-part series on… Read more...
