We are a leader in designing, manufacturing and delivering aerospace products, services and solutions to customers on a global scale. We aim for a better-connected, safer and more prosperous world.A commercial aircraft manufacturer, with Space and Defence as well as Helicopters Divisions, Airbus is the largest aeronautics and space company in Europe and a worldwide leader. Airbus has built on its strong European heritage to become truly international \u2013 with roughly 180 locations and 12,000 direct suppliers globally. The company has aircraft and helicopter final assembly lines across Asia, Europe and the Americas, and has achieved a more than sixfold order book increase since 2000.Innovation has always been a driving force at Airbus, which promotes cutting-edge technologies and scientific excellence to contribute to global progress. Through its predecessor companies, Airbus pioneered many of the technologies that helped conquer the skies and are now part of everyday life. Airbus encourages its industry-leading experts to push their boundless imaginations, moving the company into the Industry 4.0 era and inventing new possibilities for the future of flight: from manned and unmanned vehicles for urban mobility, to hybrid and electric propulsion systems for cleaner aviation.With its Zephyr platform Airbus is providing a High Altitude Platform System (HAPS) that fills a capability gap between satellites and UAVs running exclusively on solar power and flying above the weather and above commercial air traffic. Zephyr can deliver numerous payload capabilities across two platforms: Zephyr S and the more capable Zephyr T with a unique twin tail design. Zephyr T is able to carry larger payloads for applications such widespread, persistent internet coverage to remote areas of the globe.                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n

The success of the coalition in defining the role of satellites in the GII strengthened ties between major industry players and sowed the seeds for what today is the Satellite Industry Association.\r\n \r\nSince that time, SIA has developed into a full service 501(c) (6) trade association representing the commercial satellite industry. SIA has established active working groups involved with a host of policy issues including: regulatory issues (satellite licensing, spectrum allocation and regulatory policy); government services, public safety, export control policy, and international trade issues.

telecommunications, media, and satellite industries globally. Since 2008, clients have engaged us to provide objective perspectives on complex valuation-related matters involving high stakes transaction decisions, litigation support, or financial restructuring matters. Our projects are often related to hard-to-value businesses or the valuation of intangible assets such as wireless spectrum licenses or satellite orbital slot authorizations.\r\n\r\nOur senior team members are highly qualified valuation professionals and widely recognized expert thought leaders in their communications sector niches. Summit Ridge Group's business model allows its senior professionals to spend more time researching and writing about the sector than their peers at larger firms with more overhead. As industry thought leaders, we are not afraid to advance well-supported compelling perspectives that deviate from current consensus thinking.                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                                    <div class=\"smls-inline-gallery-detail-wrap\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                <div class=\"smls-popup-second-content-wrap clearfix\">\r\n                    <div class=\"smls-popup-third-content-wrap clearfix\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"smls-popup-wrap  smls-overlay-title-center\" >\r\n             \r\n        <div class=\"smls-only-image-wrap\">\r\n                            <img  src=\"https:\/\/spectrumamericas.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/T-mobile-website.png\">\r\n                <div class=\"smls-overlay-all-wrap\">\r\n                                                <div class=\"smls-overlay-title\">\r\n                                Event Partner                            <\/div>\r\n                                                <a class=\"smls-popup-icon\" href=\"#smls-popup-inline-960121861\" rel=\"smls-popup\" >\r\n                        <span>\r\n                                                            <i class=\"fa fa-search\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\r\n                                                        <\/span><\/a>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"smls-overlay-wrap\"><\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n        <div id=\"smls-popup-inline-960121861\" class=\"smls-hide\">\r\n            <div class=\"smls-popup-content-wrap smls-popup-template-2\">\r\n                <div class=\"smls-first-content-wrap clearfix\">\r\n                    <div class=\"smls-popup-logo-image\">\r\n                        <img src=\"https:\/\/spectrumamericas.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/T-mobile-website.png\">\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                    <div class=\"smls-only-content-wrap\">\r\n                        <div class=\"smls-logo-description-heading\">\r\n                            T-Mobile                        <\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"smls-logo-sub-heading\">\r\n                            www.t-mobile.com                        <\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"smls-logo-description\">\r\n\r\n                            As America's Un-carrier, T-Mobile US, Inc.

This includes working to secure new advantageous rulesets in the upcoming reviews in USA and Europe to expand the use cases for UWB technology.\r\n\r\nWe are also heavily involved in optimizing spectrum sharing whilst minimizing interference.

It will look at the tools and techniques that are available to both regulators and industry to ensure that spectrum is allocated and utilised in the most efficient way possible, and in a way that encourages innovation whilst protecting the rights of all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What policy and technological innovations are being seen that can help to increase spectrum efficiency, and what research is being done to identifying new and innovative approaches to spectrum sharing?<\/li>\n<li>What new methods and techniques of spectrum sharing are emerging both in the US and elsewhere?<\/li>\n<li>How are sharing techniques evolving and becoming more sophisticated, and how can these developments be best harnessed to increase efficiency and protect the rights of all

In the US, a spectrum sharing framework in the CBRS band has been set up to deliver spectrum for vertical businesses alongside a number of other key users, whilst in other countries, some regulators have set-aside a portion of spectrum in priority 5G bands for enterprises so they can build their own private 5G networks. This session will look at the different approaches that are being considered, and the best way forward to deliver connectivity to enterprises in the most efficient and reliable way possible. With this exploration of models that are different to the traditional method of networks being solely operated by MNOs, it will also look at the impact that this may have on business models and relationships between network operators and vertical users, and at the potential for new partnerships to develop for the benefit of all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What access mechanisms and spectrum bands are being used around the world to provide spectrum to meet the varied use cases of vertical users?<\/li>\n<li>What approaches and incentives can be used to incentives use of spectrum and to make sure that bandwidth is not left lying fallow?<\/li>\n<li>How can it be ensured that power limits are set at the right level to ensure no interference across the range of different environments that private networks may be set up?<\/li>\n<li>What is the situation in the US, and to what extent can bands such as the CBRS and UHF band help to meet connectivity needs to deliver private networks?<\/li>\n<li>How can governments and regulators develop spectrum policies that maximise value of spectrum and deliver connectivity to enterprises in the most efficient and reliable way possible? What can be done to deliver the required flexibility whilst avoiding the possible pit-falls of under-utilisation and fragmentation?<\/li>\n<li>What examples of network operators working alongside private enterprises and other parties to deliver vertical connectivity are being seen, and what innovative models are emerging?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent can the emergence of private local networks provide a new business case for MNOs, and how may business models change?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 3: Private 5G networks \u2013 access mechanisms, spectrum bands and emerging new business models image\" src=\"https:\/\/spectrumamericas.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Richard-M-118x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Moderator: Richard Marsden                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Managing Director, NERA Economic Consulting                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <div id=\"speakertext15570\" class=\"f-x2 f-x3\">\n<p>With a team based in New York City and London, but working around the world, Mr. Marsden\u2019s practice focuses on the design of allocation mechanisms, including:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 auctions and trading design;<br \/>\n\u00b7 bidding strategy; and<br \/>\n\u00b7 related competition, pricing, regulatory and public policy.<\/p>\n<p>His work spans multiple industries, including broadcasting, energy, mobile telephony, procurement, radio spectrum and transport.<\/p>\n<p>Many of Mr. Marsden\u2019s recent projects have involved auction design, software implementation and\/or bidder support related to the current wave of spectrum awards worldwide. Since 1999, he has provided strategy advice to leading incumbent operators and aspiring entrants in more than 35 spectrum auctions. He was also a lead member of the design team that developed and implemented the combinatorial clock auction, the first practical multi-round package bid format for awarding radio spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining NERA, Mr. Marsden spent 10 years as Director and Managing Consultant at DotEcon, where he was responsible for business development for auctions, public policy, and strategy projects. He managed the project teams supporting the UK regulator Ofcom on digital dividend policy and UK spectrum auctions between 2005 and 2010. He also completed major studies for the European Commission on the allocation of the digital dividend and on spectrum trading and liberalization.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Marsden presents and publishes frequently on the topics of auctions, the communications industry, and spectrum management and allocation. He is the co-author of a book on broadband regulation (Springer, 2005). He is also an advisor to Forum Global on Spectrum Management conferences in the Americas, Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Alongside the exciting new opportunities that this will bring, this also brings with it a dramatic increase in satellite demand for spectrum, as well as a number of regulatory challenges, including with regards to licencing rules and frameworks. This session will look at this in more detail. It will explore the innovative new technologies and business models that are being seen within the space sector today, and the challenge and opportunities that this provides. It will look at the extent to which current rules and regulations governing access to spectrum are still sufficient in this rapidly evolving sector, and discuss the best way forward to ensure a future-proof and flexible spectrum licencing system to protect all users and allow the next generation of space based connectivity to flourish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What licencing models and rules currently guide access to spectrum for satellite systems?<\/li>\n<li>With the current framework designed for GSO satellite networks, are they still appropriate for more complex NGSO systems?<\/li>\n<li>Is a first come, first served (FCFS) licensing procedure still appropriate in this rapidly evolving and fast moving sector?<\/li>\n<li>What measures have been taken by the FCC to streamline licencing laws for constellations smaller than 10 satellites and what impact will this have?<\/li>\n<li>Should NGSO satellites be allowed to operate within the same spectrum bands as GEO satellites, and to what extent is there a risk of interference in this scenario?<\/li>\n<li>What is the current situation regarding access to spectrum for launch vehicles, and is there a need to revisit current frameworks around this in order to provide the flexibility and predictability that is required within this growing sector?<\/li>\n<li>What innovative new examples are being seen of satellite operators working directly with MNOs to deliver connectivity using LTE frequencies?<\/li>\n<li>What is the future of this new model of co-operation between satellite and mobile, and how can it be managed?

late last year, with 180 winning bidders gaining funding to deploy high-speed broadband to more than 5.2 million unserved homes and businesses. The winners included cable operators, electric cooperatives, incumbent telcos, satellite companies and fixed wireless providers. Bidding was so competitive that only $8bn of the budgeted $16bn was awarded in the end, leaving $12bn left for phase 2 of the auction which will focus on \u2018underserved\u2019 areas. This session will look in details at the design, structures, outcomes and \u2018winners and losers\u2019 of the phase 1 awards. Looking forward, it will assess the extent to which the auction is likely to be successful in achieving its objectives of helping to deliver universal service, and what the outcomes might mean for phase 2 of the auction as well as for future auctions and awards more broadly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What auction design and structures were used in RDOF phase 1, and how did this impact the outcomes?<\/li>\n<li>Who were the big winners and losers?<\/li>\n<li>With a lot of successful bids coming from fibre providers, might this have any impact on the future of wireless broadband solutions and specifically FWA in rural regions?<\/li>\n<li>Did the FCC authorise bidders in a way that ensure they were in a position to be able to serve the respective areas?<\/li>\n<li>Should it be the case to be qualified in a state to receive should somehow be tied to existing operations of the bidding company?<\/li>\n<li>Were the rules prioritising higher tiers a fair way to organise things?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent can the new approach and design taken with the RDOF auctions be deemed to be a success, and what might this mean for future auctions and awards?<\/li>\n<li>As we move towards phase 2 of RDOF, how much of an impact might the updates being made to the FCC broadband maps have of the scope of areas that are being designated as \u2018underserved\u2019?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Alongside broadband availability and universal service, it will also consider affordability \u2013 according to a recent study, more Americans today have access to broadband but choose not to subscribe than Americans who have no access \u2013 principally because of cost. Speakers will look at the different policy and technology tools that exist to deliver the universal, affordable broadband across the region that is required. It will look at work that is being done to smooth network deployment on tribal lands and elsewhere, and the extent to which these efforts and initiatives across the Americas can finally make a difference in successfully closing the digital divide.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What are the goals for Universal Service delivery in the US and elsewhere across the Americas, and how can regulators work alongside other stakeholders to ensure that these goals are met?<\/li>\n<li>With now more money than ever available to support the delivery of universal service, what should be the next steps?<\/li>\n<li>What mix of different technologies will be required in order to help to meet the ultimate goal of universal broadband availability and affordability across the region?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent can fixed wireless access be part of the solution?<\/li>\n<li>What should be considered as the definition of &#8216;broadband&#8217;, and what should minimum acceptable levels be in terms of key aspects such as speed and latency?<\/li>\n<li>What can be done to address the issue of affordability, and how can it be ensured that this is prioritized alongside infrastructure rollout?<\/li>\n<li>What work is being done to ease broadband deployment on tribal lands and to encourage collaboration among federal agencies and individual tribes?<\/li>\n<li>What progress is being made to deliver rural connectivity in Canada and elsewhere across the Americas?<\/li>\n<li>What impact can 5G have on delivering rural connectivity \u2013 can it be the \u2018silver bullet\u2019 that some have claimed?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 5ii: Where next?

Over $80 billion was raised in total, with Verizon, AT&amp;T and T-Mobile snapping up a large percentage of the 5,684 licences that were available. Satellite operators will receive $9.7 billion in incentive payments to vacate the band relatively quickly, and will also be reimbursed for the costs of changing their networks. C-band auctions are also underway in Canada, with the first awards expected to take place before the date of this conference and more set to follow shortly. With spectrum in the C-band now finally becoming available for operators across North America, this session will take stock, and ask \u2018what next\u2019?

Is there now sufficient spectrum available for 5G in the C-band and mid band frequencies more broadly across the US and Canada, or could there still be potential for push for additional bandwidth at some point in the future?<\/li>\n<li>What might this mean for satellite services in the band, and how can it be ensured that the needs of all key users and technologies are met?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 6i: What next for the C-band in Canada and US? image\" src=\"https:\/\/spectrumamericas.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/amit-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Moderator: Amit Nagpal                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Partner, Aetha Consulting                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>Amit has over 20 years of experience advising fixed and mobile operators, regulators\/government bodies, financial institutions and equipment manufacturers on commercial, technical and regulatory issues.

decision to join the US in making the full 6GHz band available for WiFi devices, with the power limits that they are permitting in the band meaning that they are actually freeing up an additional 100MHz of spectrum compared to their US counterparts. Meanwhile, the future of the band elsewhere around the world is less certain \u2013 most countries are still yet to make a decision on this. Whilst part of the industry supports the RLAN usage of this spectrum, another part of the industry supports this band for licensed use. This session will look at what the approach taken across Canada and the US, at the new use cases that opening up this spectrum is going to enable, and at the measures that have been put in place within different scenarios to help avoid interference. It will look at what the decisions that have been taken might mean for various different stakeholders \u2013 WiFi providers, incumbent users and users in adjacent bands, other industries also interested in this spectrum and most importantly, consumers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 7\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<ul>\n<li>How does the decision to make the full 6GHz band available for WiFi affect different industry stakeholders?<\/li>\n<li>How do the approaches taken in the 6GHz band in the US and Canada differ, and how much additional spectrum is realistically going to be made available in each case?<\/li>\n<li>What is classified as low power indoor (LPI), very low power (VLP) and standard power unlicensed uses of the band, and in what scenarios are each of these uses permitted?<\/li>\n<li>What measures have been put in place to protect incumbent (eg satellite and fixed links\/backhaul) users in the band, and also users in adjacent bands (for example intelligent transport systems in the 5.9GHz band)?<\/li>\n<li>What results have been seen in the testing done to date, and to what extent has any interference been seen with backhaul services and others?<\/li>\n<li>What is the current status with the development of AFC (Automatic Frequency Coordination) standards and what progress has been made on AFC certification?

He has published pieces in economics and law journals and popular media, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg Law, Reuters, Air Traffic Management magazine, and Wired. The 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act instructed the GAO to study his proposal that the FAA lease or auction airspace for drone and passenger drone services. His proposal that the FCC extend its OTARD rules, in order to open up millions of sites to small cells and 5G devices on private property, led to an FCC proceeding and rule change in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Brent served for four years on the FCC&#8217;s Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee, served as a drone law adviser to the Virginia Department of Aviation, and currently serves on the Texas DOT&#8217;s Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Task Force. In addition to speaking at campuses, conferences, and legislative hearings, he has been invited to brief federal and state lawmakers, White House staff, FCC commissioners and staff, and the FAA&#8217;s Drone Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n

The band is currently used by digital broadcasting service (DBS) providers, and Multi-Channel Video and Data Distribution Service (MVDDS) and NGSO licensees operating on a non-harmful interference basis to DBS. It was recently however described as one of the best positioned mid-band spectrum bands potentially available for 5G, with proponents including Dish saying it offers the potential of 500MHz of contiguous spectrum. Earlier this year the FCC voted to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on the band, exploring whether rules may be changed to accommodate 5G services. This session will look at the current use of the band, and the potential that may exist to accommodate new services without causing harmful interference to existing users.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What users and services currently operate in the 12GHz band, and what are the rules governing access to the available spectrum?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent is the available spectrum in the band being utilised to its full potential? Is there a need to look at revising rules in order to ensure the band is put to best use?<\/li>\n<li>Would it be possible for satellite and terrestrial services to co-exist in the band?<\/li>\n<li>What is contained in the NPRM that has been put forward by the FCC, and what impact could this have for users of the band?<\/li>\n<li>What is the situation in the adjoining Cable Television Relay Service (CARS) band, and to what extent could spectrum in this band also be explored as a possible option for 5G?<\/li>\n<li>What is the situation regarding the 12GHz band in other countries and regions around the world?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 6iv: Fireside Chat &#8211; Maximising the potential of the 12GHz band image\" src=\"https:\/\/spectrumamericas.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Stephen-Sloan-120x120.png\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Moderator: Stephan Sloan                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Director, Media Services Group                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>Stephan Sloan assists clients in a variety of investment banking, brokerage, appraisal, portfolio management, and expert testimony tasks.

As we now begin to move beyond 5G and start out on the path towards 6G and next generation technologies, maintaining US prominence and global leadership in this area will require foresight and a strategic vision articulated at the national level. This session will look at the work being done to deliver this and the path ahead. It will look at how the future spectrum landscape is likely to develop.

In the US, a spectrum sharing framework in the CBRS band has been set up to deliver spectrum for vertical businesses alongside a number of other key users, whilst in other countries, some regulators have set-aside a portion of spectrum in priority 5G bands for enterprises so they can build their own private 5G networks. This session will look at the different approaches that are being considered, and the best way forward to deliver connectivity to enterprises in the most efficient and reliable way possible. With this exploration of models that are different to the traditional method of networks being solely operated by MNOs, it will also look at the impact that this may have on business models and relationships between network operators and vertical users, and at the potential for new partnerships to develop for the benefit of all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What access mechanisms and spectrum bands are being used around the world to provide spectrum to meet the varied use cases of vertical users?<\/li>\n<li>What approaches and incentives can be used to incentives use of spectrum and to make sure that bandwidth is not left lying fallow?<\/li>\n<li>How can it be ensured that power limits are set at the right level to ensure no interference across the range of different environments that private networks may be set up?<\/li>\n<li>What is the situation in the US, and to what extent can bands such as the CBRS and UHF band help to meet connectivity needs to deliver private networks?<\/li>\n<li>How can governments and regulators develop spectrum policies that maximise value of spectrum and deliver connectivity to enterprises in the most efficient and reliable way possible? What can be done to deliver the required flexibility whilst avoiding the possible pit-falls of under-utilisation and fragmentation?<\/li>\n<li>What examples of network operators working alongside private enterprises and other parties to deliver vertical connectivity are being seen, and what innovative models are emerging?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent can the emergence of private local networks provide a new business case for MNOs, and how may business models change?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 3: Private 5G networks \u2013 access mechanisms, spectrum bands and emerging new business models image\" src=\"https:\/\/spectrumamericas.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Richard-M-118x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Moderator: Richard Marsden                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            Managing Director, NERA Economic Consulting                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <div id=\"speakertext15570\" class=\"f-x2 f-x3\">\n<p>With a team based in New York City and London, but working around the world, Mr. Marsden\u2019s practice focuses on the design of allocation mechanisms, including:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 auctions and trading design;<br \/>\n\u00b7 bidding strategy; and<br \/>\n\u00b7 related competition, pricing, regulatory and public policy.<\/p>\n<p>His work spans multiple industries, including broadcasting, energy, mobile telephony, procurement, radio spectrum and transport.<\/p>\n<p>Many of Mr. Marsden\u2019s recent projects have involved auction design, software implementation and\/or bidder support related to the current wave of spectrum awards worldwide. Since 1999, he has provided strategy advice to leading incumbent operators and aspiring entrants in more than 35 spectrum auctions. He was also a lead member of the design team that developed and implemented the combinatorial clock auction, the first practical multi-round package bid format for awarding radio spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining NERA, Mr. Marsden spent 10 years as Director and Managing Consultant at DotEcon, where he was responsible for business development for auctions, public policy, and strategy projects. He managed the project teams supporting the UK regulator Ofcom on digital dividend policy and UK spectrum auctions between 2005 and 2010. He also completed major studies for the European Commission on the allocation of the digital dividend and on spectrum trading and liberalization.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Marsden presents and publishes frequently on the topics of auctions, the communications industry, and spectrum management and allocation. He is the co-author of a book on broadband regulation (Springer, 2005). He is also an advisor to Forum Global on Spectrum Management conferences in the Americas, Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Alongside the exciting new opportunities that this will bring, this also brings with it a dramatic increase in satellite demand for spectrum, as well as a number of regulatory challenges, including with regards to licencing rules and frameworks. This session will look at this in more detail. It will explore the innovative new technologies and business models that are being seen within the space sector today, and the challenge and opportunities that this provides. It will look at the extent to which current rules and regulations governing access to spectrum are still sufficient in this rapidly evolving sector, and discuss the best way forward to ensure a future-proof and flexible spectrum licencing system to protect all users and allow the next generation of space based connectivity to flourish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What licencing models and rules currently guide access to spectrum for satellite systems?<\/li>\n<li>With the current framework designed for GSO satellite networks, are they still appropriate for more complex NGSO systems?<\/li>\n<li>Is a first come, first served (FCFS) licensing procedure still appropriate in this rapidly evolving and fast moving sector?<\/li>\n<li>What measures have been taken by the FCC to streamline licencing laws for constellations smaller than 10 satellites and what impact will this have?<\/li>\n<li>Should NGSO satellites be allowed to operate within the same spectrum bands as GEO satellites, and to what extent is there a risk of interference in this scenario?<\/li>\n<li>What is the current situation regarding access to spectrum for launch vehicles, and is there a need to revisit current frameworks around this in order to provide the flexibility and predictability that is required within this growing sector?<\/li>\n<li>What innovative new examples are being seen of satellite operators working directly with MNOs to deliver connectivity using LTE frequencies?<\/li>\n<li>What is the future of this new model of co-operation between satellite and mobile, and how can it be managed? To what extent is there\/should there be a regulatory framework for these emerging new uses?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 4: Meeting the spectrum needs of the next generation of space-based connectivity image\" src=\"https:\/\/spectrumamericas.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/5gerry-120x120.jpeg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Moderator: Gerry Oberst                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            Senior Counsel, Hogan Lovells                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <p class=\"intro\">Gerry Oberst has been practicing in the communications arena for more than 35 years in Washington, D.C., Brussels, and Luxembourg, concentrating on telecommunications and satellite regulatory matters and policy advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>Gerry helps to shape communications law both in the United States and internationally, and advises clients in particular on radio spectrum matters.

reverse auction took place late last year, with 180 winning bidders gaining funding to deploy high-speed broadband to more than 5.2 million unserved homes and businesses. The winners included cable operators, electric cooperatives, incumbent telcos, satellite companies and fixed wireless providers. Bidding was so competitive that only $8bn of the budgeted $16bn was awarded in the end, leaving $12bn left for phase 2 of the auction which will focus on \u2018underserved\u2019 areas. This session will look in details at the design, structures, outcomes and \u2018winners and losers\u2019 of the phase 1 awards. Looking forward, it will assess the extent to which the auction is likely to be successful in achieving its objectives of helping to deliver universal service, and what the outcomes might mean for phase 2 of the auction as well as for future auctions and awards more broadly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What auction design and structures were used in RDOF phase 1, and how did this impact the outcomes?<\/li>\n<li>Who were the big winners and losers?<\/li>\n<li>With a lot of successful bids coming from fibre providers, might this have any impact on the future of wireless broadband solutions and specifically FWA in rural regions?<\/li>\n<li>Did the FCC authorise bidders in a way that ensure they were in a position to be able to serve the respective areas?<\/li>\n<li>Should it be the case to be qualified in a state to receive should somehow be tied to existing operations of the bidding company?<\/li>\n<li>Were the rules prioritising higher tiers a fair way to organise things?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent can the new approach and design taken with the RDOF auctions be deemed to be a success, and what might this mean for future auctions and awards?<\/li>\n<li>As we move towards phase 2 of RDOF, how much of an impact might the updates being made to the FCC broadband maps have of the scope of areas that are being designated as \u2018underserved\u2019?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Alongside broadband availability and universal service, it will also consider affordability \u2013 according to a recent study, more Americans today have access to broadband but choose not to subscribe than Americans who have no access \u2013 principally because of cost. Speakers will look at the different policy and technology tools that exist to deliver the universal, affordable broadband across the region that is required. It will look at work that is being done to smooth network deployment on tribal lands and elsewhere, and the extent to which these efforts and initiatives across the Americas can finally make a difference in successfully closing the digital divide.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What are the goals for Universal Service delivery in the US and elsewhere across the Americas, and how can regulators work alongside other stakeholders to ensure that these goals are met?<\/li>\n<li>With now more money than ever available to support the delivery of universal service, what should be the next steps?<\/li>\n<li>What mix of different technologies will be required in order to help to meet the ultimate goal of universal broadband availability and affordability across the region?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent can fixed wireless access be part of the solution?<\/li>\n<li>What should be considered as the definition of &#8216;broadband&#8217;, and what should minimum acceptable levels be in terms of key aspects such as speed and latency?<\/li>\n<li>What can be done to address the issue of affordability, and how can it be ensured that this is prioritized alongside infrastructure rollout?<\/li>\n<li>What work is being done to ease broadband deployment on tribal lands and to encourage collaboration among federal agencies and individual tribes?<\/li>\n<li>What progress is being made to deliver rural connectivity in Canada and elsewhere across the Americas?<\/li>\n<li>What impact can 5G have on delivering rural connectivity \u2013 can it be the \u2018silver bullet\u2019 that some have claimed?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 5ii: Where next?

Over $80 billion was raised in total, with Verizon, AT&amp;T and T-Mobile snapping up a large percentage of the 5,684 licences that were available. Satellite operators will receive $9.7 billion in incentive payments to vacate the band relatively quickly, and will also be reimbursed for the costs of changing their networks. C-band auctions are also underway in Canada, with the first awards expected to take place before the date of this conference and more set to follow shortly. With spectrum in the C-band now finally becoming available for operators across North America, this session will take stock, and ask \u2018what next\u2019?

Is there now sufficient spectrum available for 5G in the C-band and mid band frequencies more broadly across the US and Canada, or could there still be potential for push for additional bandwidth at some point in the future?<\/li>\n<li>What might this mean for satellite services in the band, and how can it be ensured that the needs of all key users and technologies are met?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 6i: What next for the C-band in Canada and US? image\" src=\"https:\/\/spectrumamericas.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/amit-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Moderator: Amit Nagpal                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            Partner, Aetha Consulting                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <p>Amit has over 20 years of experience advising fixed and mobile operators, regulators\/government bodies, financial institutions and equipment manufacturers on commercial, technical and regulatory issues.

year, Canada took the decision to join the US in making the full 6GHz band available for WiFi devices, with the power limits that they are permitting in the band meaning that they are actually freeing up an additional 100MHz of spectrum compared to their US counterparts. Meanwhile, the future of the band elsewhere around the world is less certain \u2013 most countries are still yet to make a decision on this. Whilst part of the industry supports the RLAN usage of this spectrum, another part of the industry supports this band for licensed use. This session will look at what the approach taken across Canada and the US, at the new use cases that opening up this spectrum is going to enable, and at the measures that have been put in place within different scenarios to help avoid interference. It will look at what the decisions that have been taken might mean for various different stakeholders \u2013 WiFi providers, incumbent users and users in adjacent bands, other industries also interested in this spectrum and most importantly, consumers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 7\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<ul>\n<li>How does the decision to make the full 6GHz band available for WiFi affect different industry stakeholders?<\/li>\n<li>How do the approaches taken in the 6GHz band in the US and Canada differ, and how much additional spectrum is realistically going to be made available in each case?<\/li>\n<li>What is classified as low power indoor (LPI), very low power (VLP) and standard power unlicensed uses of the band, and in what scenarios are each of these uses permitted?<\/li>\n<li>What measures have been put in place to protect incumbent (eg satellite and fixed links\/backhaul) users in the band, and also users in adjacent bands (for example intelligent transport systems in the 5.9GHz band)?<\/li>\n<li>What results have been seen in the testing done to date, and to what extent has any interference been seen with backhaul services and others?<\/li>\n<li>What is the current status with the development of AFC (Automatic Frequency Coordination) standards and what progress has been made on AFC certification?

He has published pieces in economics and law journals and popular media, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg Law, Reuters, Air Traffic Management magazine, and Wired. The 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act instructed the GAO to study his proposal that the FAA lease or auction airspace for drone and passenger drone services. His proposal that the FCC extend its OTARD rules, in order to open up millions of sites to small cells and 5G devices on private property, led to an FCC proceeding and rule change in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Brent served for four years on the FCC&#8217;s Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee, served as a drone law adviser to the Virginia Department of Aviation, and currently serves on the Texas DOT&#8217;s Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Task Force. In addition to speaking at campuses, conferences, and legislative hearings, he has been invited to brief federal and state lawmakers, White House staff, FCC commissioners and staff, and the FAA&#8217;s Drone Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                <\/div>\r\n

The band is currently used by digital broadcasting service (DBS) providers, and Multi-Channel Video and Data Distribution Service (MVDDS) and NGSO licensees operating on a non-harmful interference basis to DBS. It was recently however described as one of the best positioned mid-band spectrum bands potentially available for 5G, with proponents including Dish saying it offers the potential of 500MHz of contiguous spectrum. Earlier this year the FCC voted to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on the band, exploring whether rules may be changed to accommodate 5G services. This session will look at the current use of the band, and the potential that may exist to accommodate new services without causing harmful interference to existing users.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What users and services currently operate in the 12GHz band, and what are the rules governing access to the available spectrum?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent is the available spectrum in the band being utilised to its full potential? Is there a need to look at revising rules in order to ensure the band is put to best use?<\/li>\n<li>Would it be possible for satellite and terrestrial services to co-exist in the band?<\/li>\n<li>What is contained in the NPRM that has been put forward by the FCC, and what impact could this have for users of the band?<\/li>\n<li>What is the situation in the adjoining Cable Television Relay Service (CARS) band, and to what extent could spectrum in this band also be explored as a possible option for 5G?<\/li>\n<li>What is the situation regarding the 12GHz band in other countries and regions around the world?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 6iv: Fireside Chat &#8211; Maximising the potential of the 12GHz band image\" src=\"https:\/\/spectrumamericas.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Stephen-Sloan-120x120.png\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Moderator: Stephan Sloan                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            Director, Media Services Group                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <p>Stephan Sloan assists clients in a variety of investment banking, brokerage, appraisal, portfolio management, and expert testimony tasks.

As we now begin to move beyond 5G and start out on the path towards 6G and next generation technologies, maintaining US prominence and global leadership in this area will require foresight and a strategic vision articulated at the national level. This session will look at the work being done to deliver this and the path ahead. It will look at how the future spectrum landscape is likely to develop.
