Paul Jarvis of OFcom addresses the BR08 audience
November 2008 is a milestone for the sector as Ofcom introduces its new licensing reforms and market mechanisms for spectrum access. The UK is at the forefront of spectrum market reforms and Business Radio is the first sector undergoing wholescale changes. At the same time the industry is responding with new products and services that are vital to match the exacting demands of professional customers.

We were pleased to welcome representatives from Government, Ofcom, manufacturers, distributors, operators and customers to the event which proved to be a resounding success.
