Spectrum Policy Podcast

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.

In this episode of the podcast, Journalist Richard Haas speaks to renowned academic Marja Matinmikko-Blue about the future of 6G spectrum policy in Europe.

We discuss a new report published by the Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG) titled “6G strategic vision,” and discuss the research priorities currently being pursued in Europe as 6G approaches.
