International Coalition Building Important Ahead of WRC: Experts

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, 2026 – Building coalitions with allied countries will be important for the United States going into the World Radiocommunication Conference next year, experts said Tuesday.

Regulators and companies attend the conference every four years to set global goals for spectrum use. It’s being hosted next in Shanghai, China, from Oct. 18 to Nov. 12, 2027.

“It really does feel like the most important proposals are often shaped at the regional level long before they’re submitted to the conference,” said Umair Javed , CTIA’s SVP and general counsel. “Oftentimes what that means is you go into the conference with these proposals already enjoying a whole lot of support. They’ve got a lot of momentum from day one.”
