Promoting and enhancing best practice and technical expertise

Telecom Best Practice

Over the past 8 years, CPT has consistently focused on case law and the relationship between operators and site providers with timely updates. It's clear a further event is now necessary and thus a small team of leading practitioners have been invited to review the cases and identify their key features.  The speakers will explore the issues that continue to rage in the marketplace, and what is needed to make the market work. The programme is brought to you virtually. It will be a mix of presentations and debate to eek out the issues for the audience.
