Regulation is good at dealing with….
 Standalone services
 Well-defined products
 Stable standards
 National / regional
 Service providers
 Homogeneous
 Similar models
 Few in number
 Commercial / Govt
Copyright Disruptive Analysis Ltd 2015June 2015

Mobile broadband forecasts over-cooked?
 Much growth driven by new (high-end) users & devices
 IoT forecasts attempt to create self-fulfilling prophecies
 Assume “service” & IMT-type “operator” model is optimal & ubiquitous

IoT
• All-embracing
• Many use-cases
• Strong arguments for
more spectrum, but…
• Unintended
consequences?
• Pre-defines model &
stakeholders?
• Extends oligopolies to
adjacent mkts?
• WiFi offload / LTE-U /
LAA as example?
Conclusion: The next 10 years
 Mobile Broadband “service” model a huge success…
 … but not the only way forward
 Innovation comes from diversity, not monoculture
 Spectrum regulation decoupled from downstream innovators
 2nd-order stakeholder groups proliferating for wireless
 Risk of unfair competition between models not just companies
 Beware of assumptions & unintended consequences
 Spectrum Mgmt 2025 must be more than just “services”
