• Latest demand figures for spectrum based services
• How should governments and regulators best incentivise public spectrum owners to identify and release underused spectrum?
• Contrasting “incentive auction” approaches with more “coercive” approach i.e. use or loose rules, possible imposition of fines for spectrum hoarding and under-use of spectrum
