Spectrum thoughts
and insights

PolicyTracker is hosting a 90‑minute webinar on 27 May 2026, bringing together leading experts to discuss the Digital Networks Act (DNA) and its potential impact on the European Union's spectrum framework.

The tracker follows mobile operators’ progress in adopting 5G-Advanced (3GPP Release 18) network technologies.

Last week, Reuters reported that Amazon is in talks to buy Globalstar in a deal valued at around USD 9 billion. I had a closer look at what spectrum licences…

The PolicyTracker Spectrum Database, available as part of our Spectrum Research Service, has been updated with the latest assignments, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, North Macedonia and Canada.

As 6G and satellite services continue to grow in importance, what does the future hold for spectrum auctions?

Our Asian Editor reflects on an Indian court case that restricts what insolvent mobile operators can do with their spectrum licences. He believes that European policymakers should take heed.

Understanding Modern Spectrum Management will cover satellite direct-to-device and the EU Digital Networks Act, as well as giving a broad overview of key economic, legal and policy issues.

We've added new research on 5G rollout in the European Union and updates to reflect the potential impact of the proposed Digital Networks Act.

Following major releases, online conversations and the keynote speeches this week, my main take is that satellite direct-to-device (D2D) technology has taken centre stage and will remain there for years…

As satellite companies race to develop direct-to-device (D2D) services, the European Commission is working on a D2D project that it hopes will provide a European alternative for secure networking.

The implications of the Digital Networks Act (DNA) are of great interest to Europe's regulators, but security is also climbing up the agenda.

Satellite connectivity is becoming an increasingly important element of telecoms networks. How can satellites be managed sustainably?

Nothing lasts forever, so the saying goes. Except perhaps spectrum licences in the European Union.
