Valuing the Spectrum training course

Location: Online
Date: 08/10/2024 - 09/10/2024

This training is being offered as a online course in on 8-9 October 2024.

Putting a value on different bands is an essential skill for everyone with a professional interest in the spectrum world.

Whether you work for a regulator, government agency or an operator, you are likely to be involved in valuing the spectrum in some form. It is an essential part of these common activities:

  • Setting reserve prices for an auction
  • Corporate strategic planning for an auction or acquisition
  • Negotiating licence renewal
  • Setting annual spectrum fees
  • Dealing with administered incentive pricing (AIP)

This two day course will explain the commonly-used valuation techniques, covering:

  • Benchmarking
  • Business modelling
  • Technical valuation
  • Opportunity cost techniques
  • Company value technique

Working through real-world examples we will show how these are used in practice and how they can be used together as part of a cross-checking approach.
