About this listen

 What is spectrum policy? Why do we need it? How is it used? Spectrum policy is about managing the use of the airwaves by mobile phones, satellites and a huge range of other devices ranging from radio telescopes to garage door openers. How can we ensure that all these users get access to the spectrum while bringing the maximum benefits to society? This podcast brings together experts from engineering, economics and policy-making to discuss current issues. It is brought to you by PolicyTracker, which produces a newsletter, research and training courses on spectrum management.PolicyTracker Politics & Government
