Keynote: The real value of mobile networks Chair: Julie Bradford, Real Wireless
With mobile connectivity now touching many more parts of the economy beyond smartphone services for consumers, particularly with 5G, is it time to rethink the value that mobile networks deliver to us all and, in return, whether nations need to revisit their policies and engagement with the mobile industry to ensure the sustainability of this industry in everyone’s best interest? |

Commercial success is more important for wireless networks than public benefit Chair: Simon Saunders, King's College London
How do we generate a sustainable approach to mobile network deployment that maximises all value elements? How do we ensure the public benefits whilst balancing the need to satisfy the commercial side? This debate considers the implications for national and more localised infrastructure, and whether clearer strategies and support for mobile networks is needed in order to deliver all elements of value across the sectors examined in the individual tracks. |
