Following its last consultation in September 2025, UK regulator Ofcom has now published its framework enabling mobile network operators to offer satellite direct-to-device services in the UK.

This dossier examines how regulators worldwide monitor coverage and quality of service (QoS) to ensure operators are adhering to their licence conditions.

In the previous discussion of regulator approaches to measuring QoS, one clear theme is a reliance on reported data from mobile network operators and third-party data collectors. This research note…

Keeping track of operators' coverage and QoS is an increasingly important task for regulators worldwide. This research note benchmarks the measurement approaches of the FCC, ACMA and the MIC.

This research note compares how the UK, France and Germany measure and present mobile coverage and quality of service, focusing on the consumer-facing tools and datasets each regulator has developed.

This dossier focuses on how regulators worldwide monitor the coverage and service quality provided by mobile network operators (MNOs).

Many sectors with an interest in UK spectrum use were able to have their say at a recent event held in London. Key topics included the RSPG's change of heart…

The RSPG's recent "Opinion" on the upper 6 GHz band loomed large at a recent workshop organised by the French spectrum agency ANFR.

As months of WRC-27 study group discussions were reviewed at the ITU in Geneva, there was general optimism, but also some concern about the altimeters agenda item.

The German regulator, BNetzA, is to re-run its assignment of spectrum in the 2 GHz and 3.6 GHz bands. This could mean launching a new auction.

Field trials in Japan and Saudi Arabia have assessed whether the 7 GHz band is suitable for 6G.

At the ITU's inter-regional information session on WRC-27 preparation, the working group presenting Agenda Item 7 said it was behind schedule.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has released its proposals for an auction of spectrum in the upper C-band (3.98-4.2 GHz).

Kyivstar is using 1725-1730/1820-1825 MHz spectrum to make the service available to its customers across Ukraine.
