Legal challenges associated with LTE opportunities

Regulators and stakeholders have diverging views as to how LTE spectrum should be allocated .. what are the arguments? Competition law has an important role to play in monitoring and guaranteeing access to spectrum and access to data. In addition, sector consolidation may lead to spectrum being returned or re-allocated.

Is there a tension between current policy objectives (what operators, vendors etc wants to do?) and rules (what is allowed to be done)?

 

What do we think 4G is…what is the path to 4G?

Why are we making the journey? Demand for bandwidth and technology that is supporting LTE

Requirement for spectrum – The path to 4G isn’t straight

All-IP – a double edged sword? – why to have or why to not have an all IP network

It’s an ecosystems thing – LTE adoption
