Lee Sanders (Partner) joined Analysys Mason in 2005 and has led projects across a broad range of topics, including spectrum issues, network sharing and next generation access networks. He leads the majority of Analysys Mason’s spectrum management projects, in particular those relating to the 2.6GHz band, the digital dividend and GSM spectrum re-farming.
Lee has advised a wide range of clients worldwide including regulators, government bodies and operators. He has led several of Analysys Mason’s very high-profile spectrum-related studies for regulators, including advising Ofcom on the awards of the 2.6GHz band, the digital dividend and L-Band; as well as our study for the European Commission on the digital dividend. Lee is also experienced in advising spectrum users – he has recently supported European mobile operators to respond to consultations regarding GSM spectrum re-farming and to value 900MHz spectrum. He is currently assisting a mobile operator to prepare for an upcoming 2.6GHz award.
Before joining Analysys Mason, Lee spent several years working for Mercer Management Consulting (now Oliver Wyman) and holds a Masters Degree in Manufacturing Engineering from the University of Cambridge.
Two of the world’s biggest spectrum auctions in the last decade finished within a day of each other. What can be learned from their results?
The Dutch 2.6GHz auction raised much less than any previous 2.6GHz spectrum allocation. Our expert uncovers the possible reasons why.
Spectrum auctions this month in Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark mark the start of a major round of spectrum auctions in Europe.
Digital Britain outlines two projects to ensure the widespread availability of high-speed broadband. Will the actions proposed in the report regarding spectrum be sufficient to achieve these goals?
The Digital Britain report outlines two initiatives to increase availability of high-speed broadband: a universal service commitment of 2Mbit/s for all by 2012 and the Next Generation Final Third project. Wireless technologies are likely to play a key role in both, but are the proposed actions regarding spectrum sufficient to achieve these goals?
