Nearly 20 years ago UK regulator Ofcom adopted the approach that relying on free market forces is the best way to manage spectrum assets and ensure efficient use. Professor William Webb, who at the time was the director of Technology resources at Ofcom was deeply involved in setting this new course for spectrum policymaking.
