Connectivity & Collaboration - different persectives and new technologiesThe continued rollout of telecommunications infrastructure is critical for the UK to remain internationally competitive. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has only added to this by highlighting the need to modernise the network and support economic growth.
This year’s conference will bring together key players from across the telecoms sector showcasing the interaction between technology, Government policy, mobile operators and landowners, and take fresh look at the current challenges, opportunities and successes.
We will continue to assess the Code and examine its successes and failures, including an update on recent cases going through the Upper Tribunal. We’ll hear some of Big Tech’s views on the UK network, while also exploring how the Dispute Resolution Service can be a useful resource in resolving ongoing disagreements. Plus looking at the to the technology itself and questioning how 5G works and its applications.
