The MSC provides the forum for consultation between RA and the mobile radiocommunications industry. Its interests include both terrestrial and satellite civil mobile services - and spectrum management, regulatory and spectrum pricing issues fall within its remit. Whilst the primary focus is national policy, the committee also monitors international activities.
