Episode Synopsis

Bandwidth is by no means an unlimited resource. Your family's smartphones, your in-home WiFi, and the dozens of Bluetooth devices in your automobile all take bites of different slices of the larger bandwidth pie. The rollout of 5G wireless is like someone walking up to that pie and shoveling a big scoop out of the center with both hands. Who determines how to split the remainder of the pie? Who determines who should be compensated for the pie that was lost? OmniSpace Chief Regulatory and International Strategy Officer Mindel De La Torre joins us for this episode — a primer for those who don't understand how the ITU's World Radiocommunications Conference (WRC) works and an explanation of how it impacts the everyday consumer.
