What is a “service”?
Subscription basis?
Service vs. feature?
Substitution risks?
Infrastructure?
Boundary with software?
Uncertainties

What will the word “service” mean in 2030?
“Service” ITU Definition : “A set of functions offered to a user by an organisation”
This definition seems to exclude:
A set of functions owned & self-provisioned by a user
A set of functions offered to a developer by an organisation
A set of functions embedded in a 3rd-party product or other non-radio service
A set of functions made available as a public amenity
A set of functions owned & consumed by an autonomous organisation
A set of functions enshrined as a human right

The same is true for connectivity options:
Substitution parallels competition

Shared Spectrum rules could enable private, regional industrial-grade 5G/WiFi
networks for IoT & Industry 4.0 (Perhaps with a blockchain register?)
16.
What might 2030 mean for spectrum policy?
IoT, software & mobile continues to change everything
Revisit the definition of “services” & SPs
Wireless connectivity ownership gets democratised
Substitution = Functional Competition
Industrial IoT will bring many unique requirements
Consider mechanisms for geo-fenced licencing
Many tech pathways for any “outcome”
AI will have profound & unexpected impacts
Question network “monoculture” vs “diversity”
