Drinks Reception

hosted by techUK and sponsored by the UK Spectrum Policy Forum.

The UK Spectrum Policy Forum is celebrating its successes a year on from its launch in 2013. Having given the inaugural address at the launch of the UK Spectrum Policy Forum, we are delighted to again receive a keynote speech from Ed Vaizey, Minister of State for Culture and the Digital Economy.

The UK Spectrum Policy Forum, facilitated by techUK, was set up in 2013 with support from DCMS to harness the expertise of all of the UK's spectrum-using industry. With over 100 members, representing a full range of spectrum usage, the Forum works closely with both Ofcom and DCMS to help address vital policy issues relating to inexorably rising spectrum demands.

How can policymakers work together with industry to stimulate investment and innovation, and create an environment to deliver 5G?
What additional spectrum requirements will be needed to meet the demands of 5G and what technological and regulatory solutions exist to provide a solution to this?
What are the key enabling technologies for 5G, and what technology choices need to be made?
What technological and network requirements will be needed in order to meet advances of delivered quality of service, reliability and security?
To what extent can 5G networks simply be considered as an evolution of 4G technologies and networks, or will it require a whole new approach and way of thinking?

IV. Standardisation and Regulatory Challenges – Working together to deliver a ubiquitous, high-performance 5G environment

Taking into account the discussions in the last session, what standardisation and regulatory challenges need to be considered as we look to develop an infrastructure to enable the potential of 5G to be maximised globally?
What challenges are faced when considering the development of universal standards for 5G?
How can it be ensured that standards that are developed are flexible enough to cope with emerging new trends in technological innovation and to possible new threats to cybersecurity, trust or privacy?
To what extent is current research into 5G being co-ordinated, and what can be done to improve links between universities, research projects, standardisation bodies and other stakeholders?
What is a realistic timeframe to work towards for research and deployment phases of 5G, and how can it be ensured that these are aligned?

V. Developing 5G Markets and Business Models

What markets are we trying to address both in terms of coverage, capacity, speed and what are the routes to market, are they the same as today only bigger and better?
The business models for mobile have been unchanged since the early 1990s. Will that model still be fit for purpose in 2020 or is the technology more disposable now?
Are people likely to increase or decrease their spend on mobile services?
How are mobile operators going to ensure that they keep a major slice of the revenues?
Will 5G bring about a merging of eCommerce, mCommerce and high street commerce? With mobile phones becoming a point of sale tool, what needs to be done to maintain consumer confidence and security?
