She was able to spearhead the drafting of the 2020 Digital Plan, which serves as a Government Compass to give concrete effects to the Vision of the Head of State, H.E. Paul BIYA, who instructed a mobilisation of all stakeholders to help Cameroon make the most of digital economy.<br \/>Senior Customs Inspector by training, she spent her entire career in the Ministry of Finance where she occupied several positions, among which that of Managing Director of Customs for 8 years. In this office, she worked for the modernisation of the Cameroon Customs, in this capacity; she set up an assessment system for custom personnel as well as a system to fight bad practices, through \u201cPerformance Contracts\u201d signed with customs officials on the one hand and economic operators on the other hand. The steady increase in custom revenue observed in the recent years is partly justified by this managerial mechanism.<br \/>In her capacity as the Minister in charge of the development of the ICT

and Magistracy. Mrs Minette LIBOM Li LIKENG has been Minister of Posts and Telecommunications since October 2015. She was able to spearhead the drafting of the 2020 Digital Plan, which serves as a Government Compass to give concrete effects to the Vision of the Head of State, H.E. Paul BIYA, who instructed a mobilisation of all stakeholders to help Cameroon make the most of digital economy.<\/p>\n<p>Senior Customs Inspector by training, she spent her entire career in the Ministry of Finance where she occupied several positions, among which that of Managing Director of Customs for 8 years. In this office, she worked for the modernisation of the Cameroon Customs, in this capacity; she set up an assessment system for custom personnel as well as a system to fight bad practices, through \u201cPerformance Contracts\u201d signed with customs officials on the one hand and economic operators on the other hand. The steady increase in custom revenue observed in the recent years is partly justified by this managerial mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>In her capacity as the Minister in charge of the development of the ICT sector, Mrs Minette LIBOM is at the front line battle, and is working to implement the Presidential Vision of bridging Cameroon\u2019s backlog in the field of digital economy.<\/p>\n

He supports and leads efforts in the EMEA region, that optimize and value the company\u2019s spectrum assets and foster its long-term strategy to maintain SES at a leading position within the satellite industry. He engages in various technical and spectrum management activities to analyse and identify spectrum opportunities for SES and potential threats for its fleet of satellites.<br \/>\nStephane started his career 17 years ago as a R&amp;D engineer and developed a solid expertise in the modelling and design of wireless communications systems, first at Orange labs, and after at CNRS, in France. In 2014, he joined the spectrum management community as an Expert in Spectrum Engineering at ANFR, where he defended the French administration and industries interests on different topics and headed the French delegation in different forums within the CEPT and ITU-R bodies.<br \/>\nStephane is passionate of ICT and technologies and believes any expertise is meant to be shared. In that sense, in 2019 he founded and is actual CEO of the African Communications Office, a consulting entity that aims at providing technical support and training in various areas of ICT including spectrum engineering and management but also regulatory and public policy affairs. He aims to contribute to bridge the digital divide in Africa by levelling up the technical and soft skills of people in regulatory bodies and Telco companies throughout the continent, but also wherever needed across the globe.<\/p>\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n

discussed at WRC-23. No provisional regional position has yet been agreed by ATU members, and next week\u2019s CPM23-4 is set to be crucial in setting the future shape of the band. With positions across the rest of region 1 split, with Europe advocating \u2018no change\u2019 and a continuation of priority for terrestrial broadcast in the band, and the Arab Region favouring a co-primary mobile allocation in the band, the final decision from Africa could be critical in the overall direction of discussions at WRC-23. Against this backdrop, this session will hear from key stakeholders on their vision on the future of the band, and discuss the best way forward to maximise value for stakeholders throughout Africa.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>What is the current status of discussions on the 470-694MHz band in Africa as we head into next week\u2019s crucial CPM23-4 meeting?<\/li>\n<li>What positions are being seen elsewhere in region 1?<\/li>\n<li>What are the key arguments being put forward by key industry stakeholders such as IMT, broadcast and PMSE?<\/li>\n<li>What would be the impact for these sectors if the decision at WRC-23 goes against them?<\/li>\n<li>What are the challenges associated with coexistence of DTT and PMSE users with mobile industry in the band?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent could emerging new technologies and standards have the potential to help to make sharing of this kind a possibility either now or in the future?<\/li>\n<li>Where does the balance lie between the delivery of a coordinated approach and taking account of national differences? How important is it that a harmonised decision on the future of the band is reached both across Africa and the rest of region 1?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

A number of very different perspectives are being seen in different countries across region 1, and votes from African nations are set to play a big part in the decision on the future of the band that will be taken at WRC-23. Ahead of the crucial final regional preparatory meeting for WRC-23 which will take place next week, this session will look at the respective positions that are being taken by both the IMT and unlicenced communities on the best future use of the band, at the status across regulators and countries in the region, and at the best approach for the use of this vital spectrum to ensure that its value is maximised for the citizens of Africa.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>What positions are emerging for the use of the 6GHz band in countries across Africa? How can its socio-economic benefits be best maximised across both developed and developing countries?<\/li>\n<li>What are the positions in other parts of region 1 and globally?<\/li>\n<li>How important is it that a harmonised approach is achieved? Given the different positions that are being seen, to what extent is it likely that this can be achieved across Africa, region 1 and globally?<\/li>\n<li>What are the main points being made by the IMT and WiFi communities on why their position offers the best socio-economic value for the use of the band?<\/li>\n<li>What would be the impact for the development of IMT and WiFi if the technologies are not able to access the spectrum that they hope for in the upper 6GHz band?<\/li>\n<li>Is there a solution that would ensure that sufficient spectrum in the band is available for both WiFi and IMT

The open issue for the ATU region is whether to allow IMT in the entire 3.6-3.8 GHz range or to limit it to the 3.6-3.7GHz portion only. This session will hear from proponents advocating both of these different approaches, and more broadly look at the best way forward to deliver the maximum socio-economic value for Africa across these key frequencies.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How does the situation in the C-band across Africa compare with that currently seen in other regions around the world?<\/li>\n<li>What options for the future of the C-band were put forward at CPM as part of AI1.3, and what would be the best approach for Africa? To what extent is there an argument for building in flexibility via footnotes to enable administrations to select the most appropriate approach for them?<\/li>\n<li>Should African countries identify for IMT in the Radio Regulations the whole 3600-3800 MHz, or only the 3600-3700 MHz?<\/li>\n<li>Can a solution be found that provides the flexibility that is needed to deliver both the required connectivity for 5G and also the regulatory certainty that satellite operators need to safeguard their continued services in the band?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 4: Maximising efficiency and balancing different needs in the 3.5GHz spectrum image\" src=\"https:\/\/subsahara-spectrum.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jonathon-Wall-256-120x120-1-120x120.png\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Moderator: Jonathan Wall                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Manager, Aetha Consulting                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-19\">\n<p>Jonathan supports telecoms operators and regulators in areas including 5G network strategy, spectrum valuation and cost modelling.

He supports and leads efforts in the EMEA region, that optimize and value the company\u2019s spectrum assets and foster its long-term strategy to maintain SES at a leading position within the satellite industry. He engages in various technical and spectrum management activities to analyse and identify spectrum opportunities for SES and potential threats for its fleet of satellites.<br \/>\nStephane started his career 17 years ago as a R&amp;D engineer and developed a solid expertise in the modelling and design of wireless communications systems, first at Orange labs, and after at CNRS, in France. In 2014, he joined the spectrum management community as an Expert in Spectrum Engineering at ANFR, where he defended the French administration and industries interests on different topics and headed the French delegation in different forums within the CEPT and ITU-R bodies.<br \/>\nStephane is passionate of ICT and technologies and believes any expertise is meant to be shared. In that sense, in 2019 he founded and is actual CEO of the African Communications Office, a consulting entity that aims at providing technical support and training in various areas of ICT including spectrum engineering and management but also regulatory and public policy affairs. He aims to contribute to bridge the digital divide in Africa by levelling up the technical and soft skills of people in regulatory bodies and Telco companies throughout the continent, but also wherever needed across the globe.<\/p>\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n

helping to improve speeds, reliability and coverage. And whilst in Africa this is also the ultimate goal, with 5G currently still very much in its infancy across the region, a step-by-step approach is required. A continued focus in the short term on delivering 4G is seen by most as vitally important in order to help deliver the widespread, affordable broadband that is vital to connect citizens across the region. This session will look at where countries in Africa currently lie in their journey \u2018through the G\u2019s\u2019, the progress that is being made with 4G rollout. It will explore the strategies and plans that are in place to find the required spectrum to continue this growth. Whilst the traditional path from 2G to 3G to 4G to 5G would seem the logical approach, it will explore the option of leapfrogging directly from 2G to 4G, and more broadly at the best way forward to ensure that affordable connectivity is delivered across Africa as quickly and as efficiently as possible.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>What progress is being seen across Africa with the rollout of mobile broadband and 4G networks? Which countries are leading the way in delivering coverage and connectivity, and which approaches have been the most successful?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent is the required spectrum for 4G now available across the region? Are there any bottlenecks and, if so, then in which areas are these being seen?<\/li>\n<li>What different strategies are being seen to tackle the technical, financial and geographical challenges to deliver 4G?<\/li>\n<li>What is the best strategy to move citizens currently using 2G (or with no connectivity at all) to 4G? Is the traditional approach to cycle through 3G first, or is there an argument to leapfrog straight to 4G?<\/li>\n<li>How can regulators balance the need to continue early exploration of 5G rollout with the vital need to maintain focus on continued 4G expansion?<\/li>\n<li>How can this combined approach of simultaneous development of 4G and 5G help Sub-Saharan Africa tackle the digital divide and meet the growing demand for connectivity coming from its population?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n

Investments by governments, industry players, and development partners have helped to reduce the percentage of the region without connectivity from 51% in 2014 to 18% today. There is still more work to be done however \u2013 this figure is still the highest in the world, and well above the global average of 6%. This session will look at the progress made to date, the approaches and technologies that have driven this, and the path ahead as efforts continue to deliver the ultimate goal of ubiquitous connectivity. It will then move on to focus on the issue of the usage gap. There is a reported 49% gap between broadband access (82%) and usage (33%) in the region, with affordability of devices and data seen as key factors in this. It will look at the measures that are being taken to address this and at the best way forward to ensure that affordability becomes less of a barrier to connectivity in the region.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What approaches and technologies across the region have been most successful in tackling both the connectivity and usage gaps that are seen in the region?<\/li>\n<li>What countries are leading the way and what lessons can be taken from the approaches that are being seen?<\/li>\n<li>What examples are being seen of policymakers and industry representatives from different sides working together to increase connectivity across the region?<\/li>\n<li>How can advances in technology and innovative policymaking respectively help to play a part in the continual efforts towards ubiquitous, reliable, and affordable connectivity services?<\/li>\n<li>How can governments and industries work together to lower costs for data and devices and mitigate affordability as a key usage gap barrier?<\/li>\n<li>What initiatives are being seen in this area, and to what extent is policy action necessary in order to address affordability barriers for both devices and data<\/li>\n<li>To what extent could the approach that is bring seen in Brazil of operators making investment commitments as part of their spectrum licence payments be a model that helps African countries to both increase network rollout and improve affordability?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 8: Towards ubiquitous connectivity \u2013 delivering the required coverage and affordability image\" src=\"https:\/\/subsahara-spectrum.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elena-Scaramuzzi-120x120.png\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Moderator: Elena Scaramuzzi                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Head of Global Research, Cullen International                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>Elena Scaramuzzi leads regulatory services and research activities with a global reach.

In Africa, where many countries still face the challenge of trying to connect large unserved rural and remote populations, the possibility of offering connectivity via satellite through standard consumer mobile phones could raise the potential to help reduce barriers to entry and to bridge the digital divide. In order for the potential of this technology to be realised however, there are a number of key regulatory and policy challenges that need to be overcome, not least when considering the best way to meet the spectrum requirements of these new hybrid networks. This session will examine the potential that direct-to-device connectivity can offer countries across Africa. It will examine the different approaches, technologies and methods of accessing spectrum that are currently being put forward and the different regulatory and technical challenges that these raise, and overall the extent to which connectivity in this way can help in the ongoing challenge to bridge the digital divide.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>What potential benefits can the emergence of hybrid satellite-terrestrial networks and &#8216;direct to device&#8217; satellite connectivity offer countries and consumers across Africa?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent could it contribute to efforts across the region to tackle the digital divide and help to connect people and communities in unserved rural and remote areas?<\/li>\n<li>What performance can be expected to be seen from networks in this way?

Previously, Margo served as VP of Programs for NexGen Space, where she managed projects, contracts, and financial operations. She was Project Manager for the Ultra-Low-Cost Access to Space Study for the United States Air Force. This study focused on how the United States Government could leverage free enterprise to achieve low cost access to space to meet our National Security needs in the next 5 years. She also served as the Principal Investigator for NASA-funded research on the environmental impacts of space solar power (SSP), and co-authored a study for the National Security Space Office on SSP.  She keeps her engineering skills current by working on an array of technical projects. Recently, Margo wrote a web data connector for NetHope to connect data from the United Nations Humanitarian Crisis Response Syrian Refugee Crisis REST APIs and populate Tableau. This product will guide over 43 NGOs in their efforts to meet the needs of the Syrian Refugees.

dispersed populations often make it difficult and expensive to deploy physical network infrastructure across many regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) can offer an alternative solution, providing the potential to deploy broadband connectivity more cost effectively and quickly. If handled in the right way, it could potentially play a big part in helping to tackle the digital divide. This session will examine this potential, look at examples of FWA networks that are being seen in the region to date, and explore how the emergence of 5G can help the growth of the technology. It will discuss challenges and obstacles that still need to be overcome in order to ensure that the full potential of FWA can be felt.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>What role can FWA play in helping to tackle the digital divide, particularly in areas that experience poor or no fixed-network coverage?<\/li>\n<li>What examples are already being seen of FWA being rolled out and making a difference across the region? What lessons can be learnt from experiences in these situations?<\/li>\n<li>What spectrum and network requirements are necessary, and what progress has been made on delivering in these areas?<\/li>\n<li>What hurdles to widespread roll out of FWA services are still being seen and how can these be overcome?<\/li>\n<li>How can the backhaul needs for FWA be met in the most cost-efficient and effective manner?<\/li>\n<li>How can it be ensured that FWA connectivity is delivered in an affordable and secure manner, and that the needs of businesses and consumers in unconnected communities are both understood and met?<\/li>\n<li>What difference could the more widespread rollout of 5G across the region make for FWA services, and what can be expected of the technology in the future?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 10i: Meeting the connectivity needs to maximise the potential of FWA across the region image\" src=\"https:\/\/subsahara-spectrum.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Jean-Jacques-Massima--120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Moderator: Jean-Jacques Massima-Landji                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Representative for Central Africa and Madagascar, Yaound\u00e9, Cameroon, ITU                                                                                 <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>Jean-Jacques is a Senior  Engineer in Radiocommunications, Electronics and Computer science who graduated in Paris in 1983.<\/p>\n<p>J.J.

Management and Development team. He supports and leads efforts in the EMEA region, that optimize and value the company\u2019s spectrum assets and foster its long-term strategy to maintain SES at a leading position within the satellite industry. He engages in various technical and spectrum management activities to analyse and identify spectrum opportunities for SES and potential threats for its fleet of satellites.<br \/>\nStephane started his career 17 years ago as a R&amp;D engineer and developed a solid expertise in the modelling and design of wireless communications systems, first at Orange labs, and after at CNRS, in France. In 2014, he joined the spectrum management community as an Expert in Spectrum Engineering at ANFR, where he defended the French administration and industries interests on different topics and headed the French delegation in different forums within the CEPT and ITU-R bodies.<br \/>\nStephane is passionate of ICT and technologies and believes any expertise is meant to be shared. In that sense, in 2019 he founded and is actual CEO of the African Communications Office, a consulting entity that aims at providing technical support and training in various areas of ICT including spectrum engineering and management but also regulatory and public policy affairs. He aims to contribute to bridge the digital divide in Africa by levelling up the technical and soft skills of people in regulatory bodies and Telco companies throughout the continent, but also wherever needed across the globe.<\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                <\/div>\r\n

No provisional regional position has yet been agreed by ATU members, and next week\u2019s CPM23-4 is set to be crucial in setting the future shape of the band. With positions across the rest of region 1 split, with Europe advocating \u2018no change\u2019 and a continuation of priority for terrestrial broadcast in the band, and the Arab Region favouring a co-primary mobile allocation in the band, the final decision from Africa could be critical in the overall direction of discussions at WRC-23. Against this backdrop, this session will hear from key stakeholders on their vision on the future of the band, and discuss the best way forward to maximise value for stakeholders throughout Africa.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>What is the current status of discussions on the 470-694MHz band in Africa as we head into next week\u2019s crucial CPM23-4 meeting?<\/li>\n<li>What positions are being seen elsewhere in region 1?<\/li>\n<li>What are the key arguments being put forward by key industry stakeholders such as IMT, broadcast and PMSE?<\/li>\n<li>What would be the impact for these sectors if the decision at WRC-23 goes against them?<\/li>\n<li>What are the challenges associated with coexistence of DTT and PMSE users with mobile industry in the band?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent could emerging new technologies and standards have the potential to help to make sharing of this kind a possibility either now or in the future?<\/li>\n<li>Where does the balance lie between the delivery of a coordinated approach and taking account of national differences?

Ahead of the crucial final regional preparatory meeting for WRC-23 which will take place next week, this session will look at the respective positions that are being taken by both the IMT and unlicenced communities on the best future use of the band, at the status across regulators and countries in the region, and at the best approach for the use of this vital spectrum to ensure that its value is maximised for the citizens of Africa.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>What positions are emerging for the use of the 6GHz band in countries across Africa?

The 3.4GHz-3.6GHz portion of the band is already allocated to mobile on a primary basis across Africa, and it is the future of the 3.3GHz-3.4GHz and the 3.6GHz-3.8GHz portions is now due to be discussed in detail this time around. The open issue for the ATU region is whether to allow IMT in the entire 3.6-3.8 GHz range or to limit it to the 3.6-3.7GHz portion only. This session will hear from proponents advocating both of these different approaches, and more broadly look at the best way forward to deliver the maximum socio-economic value for Africa across these key frequencies.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How does the situation in the C-band across Africa compare with that currently seen in other regions around the world?<\/li>\n<li>What options for the future of the C-band were put forward at CPM as part of AI1.3, and what would be the best approach for Africa? To what extent is there an argument for building in flexibility via footnotes to enable administrations to select the most appropriate approach for them?<\/li>\n<li>Should African countries identify for IMT in the Radio Regulations the whole 3600-3800 MHz, or only the 3600-3700 MHz?<\/li>\n<li>Can a solution be found that provides the flexibility that is needed to deliver both the required connectivity for 5G and also the regulatory certainty that satellite operators need to safeguard their continued services in the band?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 4: Maximising efficiency and balancing different needs in the 3.5GHz spectrum image\" src=\"https:\/\/subsahara-spectrum.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jonathon-Wall-256-120x120-1-120x120.png\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Moderator: Jonathan Wall                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            Manager, Aetha Consulting                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-19\">\n<p>Jonathan supports telecoms operators and regulators in areas including 5G network strategy, spectrum valuation and cost modelling.

SES\u2019s Spectrum Management and Development team. He supports and leads efforts in the EMEA region, that optimize and value the company\u2019s spectrum assets and foster its long-term strategy to maintain SES at a leading position within the satellite industry. He engages in various technical and spectrum management activities to analyse and identify spectrum opportunities for SES and potential threats for its fleet of satellites.<br \/>\nStephane started his career 17 years ago as a R&amp;D engineer and developed a solid expertise in the modelling and design of wireless communications systems, first at Orange labs, and after at CNRS, in France. In 2014, he joined the spectrum management community as an Expert in Spectrum Engineering at ANFR, where he defended the French administration and industries interests on different topics and headed the French delegation in different forums within the CEPT and ITU-R bodies.<br \/>\nStephane is passionate of ICT and technologies and believes any expertise is meant to be shared. In that sense, in 2019 he founded and is actual CEO of the African Communications Office, a consulting entity that aims at providing technical support and training in various areas of ICT including spectrum engineering and management but also regulatory and public policy affairs. He aims to contribute to bridge the digital divide in Africa by levelling up the technical and soft skills of people in regulatory bodies and Telco companies throughout the continent, but also wherever needed across the globe.<\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                <\/div>\r\n

helping to improve speeds, reliability and coverage. And whilst in Africa this is also the ultimate goal, with 5G currently still very much in its infancy across the region, a step-by-step approach is required. A continued focus in the short term on delivering 4G is seen by most as vitally important in order to help deliver the widespread, affordable broadband that is vital to connect citizens across the region. This session will look at where countries in Africa currently lie in their journey \u2018through the G\u2019s\u2019, the progress that is being made with 4G rollout. It will explore the strategies and plans that are in place to find the required spectrum to continue this growth. Whilst the traditional path from 2G to 3G to 4G to 5G would seem the logical approach, it will explore the option of leapfrogging directly from 2G to 4G, and more broadly at the best way forward to ensure that affordable connectivity is delivered across Africa as quickly and as efficiently as possible.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>What progress is being seen across Africa with the rollout of mobile broadband and 4G networks? Which countries are leading the way in delivering coverage and connectivity, and which approaches have been the most successful?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent is the required spectrum for 4G now available across the region? Are there any bottlenecks and, if so, then in which areas are these being seen?<\/li>\n<li>What different strategies are being seen to tackle the technical, financial and geographical challenges to deliver 4G?<\/li>\n<li>What is the best strategy to move citizens currently using 2G (or with no connectivity at all) to 4G? Is the traditional approach to cycle through 3G first, or is there an argument to leapfrog straight to 4G?<\/li>\n<li>How can regulators balance the need to continue early exploration of 5G rollout with the vital need to maintain focus on continued 4G expansion?<\/li>\n<li>How can this combined approach of simultaneous development of 4G and 5G help Sub-Saharan Africa tackle the digital divide and meet the growing demand for connectivity coming from its population?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n

Investments by governments, industry players, and development partners have helped to reduce the percentage of the region without connectivity from 51% in 2014 to 18% today. There is still more work to be done however \u2013 this figure is still the highest in the world, and well above the global average of 6%. This session will look at the progress made to date, the approaches and technologies that have driven this, and the path ahead as efforts continue to deliver the ultimate goal of ubiquitous connectivity. It will then move on to focus on the issue of the usage gap. There is a reported 49% gap between broadband access (82%) and usage (33%) in the region, with affordability of devices and data seen as key factors in this. It will look at the measures that are being taken to address this and at the best way forward to ensure that affordability becomes less of a barrier to connectivity in the region.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What approaches and technologies across the region have been most successful in tackling both the connectivity and usage gaps that are seen in the region?<\/li>\n<li>What countries are leading the way and what lessons can be taken from the approaches that are being seen?<\/li>\n<li>What examples are being seen of policymakers and industry representatives from different sides working together to increase connectivity across the region?<\/li>\n<li>How can advances in technology and innovative policymaking respectively help to play a part in the continual efforts towards ubiquitous, reliable, and affordable connectivity services?<\/li>\n<li>How can governments and industries work together to lower costs for data and devices and mitigate affordability as a key usage gap barrier?<\/li>\n<li>What initiatives are being seen in this area, and to what extent is policy action necessary in order to address affordability barriers for both devices and data<\/li>\n<li>To what extent could the approach that is bring seen in Brazil of operators making investment commitments as part of their spectrum licence payments be a model that helps African countries to both increase network rollout and improve affordability?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 8: Towards ubiquitous connectivity \u2013 delivering the required coverage and affordability image\" src=\"https:\/\/subsahara-spectrum.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elena-Scaramuzzi-120x120.png\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Moderator: Elena Scaramuzzi                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            Head of Global Research, Cullen International                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <p>Elena Scaramuzzi leads regulatory services and research activities with a global reach.

In Africa, where many countries still face the challenge of trying to connect large unserved rural and remote populations, the possibility of offering connectivity via satellite through standard consumer mobile phones could raise the potential to help reduce barriers to entry and to bridge the digital divide. In order for the potential of this technology to be realised however, there are a number of key regulatory and policy challenges that need to be overcome, not least when considering the best way to meet the spectrum requirements of these new hybrid networks. This session will examine the potential that direct-to-device connectivity can offer countries across Africa. It will examine the different approaches, technologies and methods of accessing spectrum that are currently being put forward and the different regulatory and technical challenges that these raise, and overall the extent to which connectivity in this way can help in the ongoing challenge to bridge the digital divide.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>What potential benefits can the emergence of hybrid satellite-terrestrial networks and &#8216;direct to device&#8217; satellite connectivity offer countries and consumers across Africa?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent could it contribute to efforts across the region to tackle the digital divide and help to connect people and communities in unserved rural and remote areas?<\/li>\n<li>What performance can be expected to be seen from networks in this way?

    <p>Remote locations, challenging geography and dispersed populations often make it difficult and expensive to deploy physical network infrastructure across many regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) can offer an alternative solution, providing the potential to deploy broadband connectivity more cost effectively and quickly. If handled in the right way, it could potentially play a big part in helping to tackle the digital divide. This session will examine this potential, look at examples of FWA networks that are being seen in the region to date, and explore how the emergence of 5G can help the growth of the technology. It will discuss challenges and obstacles that still need to be overcome in order to ensure that the full potential of FWA can be felt.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<li>What role can FWA play in helping to tackle the digital divide, particularly in areas that experience poor or no fixed-network coverage?<\/li>\n<li>What examples are already being seen of FWA being rolled out and making a difference across the region? What lessons can be learnt from experiences in these situations?<\/li>\n<li>What spectrum and network requirements are necessary, and what progress has been made on delivering in these areas?<\/li>\n<li>What hurdles to widespread roll out of FWA services are still being seen and how can these be overcome?<\/li>\n<li>How can the backhaul needs for FWA be met in the most cost-efficient and effective manner?<\/li>\n<li>How can it be ensured that FWA connectivity is delivered in an affordable and secure manner, and that the needs of businesses and consumers in unconnected communities are both understood and met?<\/li>\n<li>What difference could the more widespread rollout of 5G across the region make for FWA services, and what can be expected of the technology in the future?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Session 10i: Meeting the connectivity needs to maximise the potential of FWA across the region image\" src=\"https:\/\/subsahara-spectrum.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Jean-Jacques-Massima--120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Moderator: Jean-Jacques Massima-Landji                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            Representative for Central Africa and Madagascar, Yaound\u00e9, Cameroon, ITU                                                                         <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <p>Jean-Jacques is a Senior  Engineer in Radiocommunications, Electronics and Computer science who graduated in Paris in 1983.<\/p>\n<p>J.J.
