From sharing to dynamic spectrum to realtime MNO-aaS
Static allocations
• National MNOs
• P2P licenses
• Manual processes
• High costs / auction model
• SP-led focus
Basic Spectrum Sharing
• Local / private / neutral MNOs
• Some manual, some SAS-based (CBRS)
• Some innovators
Automated / dynamic sharing
• Spectrum market-places inc. 2ndary
• Basic APIs
• Non realtime
• Expert buyers / integrators
Full Network-aaS
• MNO design / operation from cloud
• Spectrum, RAN, core, SIM, transport
• Looks like a toolkit
• Broad channels to market

Other areas to consider
◼ Device SDR
◼ Blockchain (eg for spectrum)
◼ Intra-device wireless connections
Very-short range wireless (eg on-chip)
◼ Better 3-dimensional spectrum rights, maps & tools
◼ More device-to-device comms
◼ Post-Brexit divergence on spectrum
◼ Redefining ITU’s IMT definition beyond just “services”
