Regulatory activities


regulationThe Small Cell Forum is committed to working with its members, national regulators and international bodies to encourage a positive regulatory environment for small cell deployments.  In particular, the Forum’s regulatory objectives are:

  • To encourage a consistent regulatory environment in a wide range of administrations, giving operators and vendors access to wider markets and thereby generating economies for providers and consumers alike.
  • To assist regulators in understanding the regulatory issues associated with small cells and where necessary to clarify regulations to enable their citizens to gain full access to small cell services.
  • To ensure that any necessary clarification is identified and dealt with ahead of the time at which operators wish to provide services, permitting the benefits to be achieved in a timely fashion.
  • To provide Small Cell Forum members with knowledge of the status of the regulatory environment for femtocells across the world.
