As technology advances at an unprecedented pace and 5G networks expand rapidly, it has become increasingly essential for telecommunications regulators to stay well-informed about the intricacies of network technologies. Regulators must develop a comprehensive understanding of the technical aspects of these networks and their enhanced capabilities and the broader implications these innovations have for managing the radio spectrum—a critical and limited resource. Effective spectrum management is pivotal to ensuring these networks can operate efficiently without interference, but it also introduces complex regulatory challenges.
