Description

The IT sector is responsible for around 2% of global carbon emissions. While various industries are working towards reducing their impact, there’s still a lot of uncertainty about what spectrum regulators can do about the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions.
In this episode of the Spectrum Policy Podcast, PolicyTracker‘s Managing Director Martin Sims and journalist Laura Sear discuss what the industry and regulators are doing about the communications sector’s carbon footprint, and consider whether there is a link between spectrum efficiency and sustainability.

What is spectrum policy? Why do we need it? How is it used? Spectrum policy is about managing the use of the airwaves by mobile phones, satellites and a huge range of other devices ranging from radio telescopes to garage door openers. How can we ensure that all these users get access to the spectrum while bringing the maximum benefits to society? This podcast brings together experts from engineering, economics and policy-making to discuss current issues. It is brought to you by PolicyTracker, which produces a newsletter, research and training courses on spectrum management.
