The histories of spectrum policy and the mobile industry are closely intertwined. Much of the news in radio spectrum is driven by the stakeholders with the deepest pockets: mobile operators.

Mobile operators’ business strategies and technology focusses vary, but they all need spectrum. How they obtain that spectrum depends on the conditions in given markets, and their general approach to spectrum policy.
