Info
Dynamic Spectrum Alliance Inc. (DSA)
EU Transparency Register
275141948351-48 First registered on 09 Dec 2022
Goals / Remit
The Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (DSA) is a global, cross-industry, not for profit organization advocating for laws, regulations, and economic best practices that will lead to more efficient utilization of spectrum and foster innovation and affordable connectivity for all. Its membership spans multinationals, small- and medium-sized enterprises, and academic, research, and other organizations from around the world, all working to develop and advance policy approaches and to disseminate best practices based on dynamic access to spectrum. The DSA wants to make spectrum ‘abundant’ through dynamic access to help (1) connect people, particularly the next 2.7 billion under-served people throughout the world, (2) stimulate wireless innovation for next-generation broadband, and (3) accelerate an inclusive digital economy.
Main EU files targeted
The DSA is focused on best practices and regulations concerning efficient utilization of spectrum in the EU and other regions across the globe. The Alliance promotes the use of shared spectrum through lightly licensed or unlicensed spectrum allocation as opposed to a fully licensed model. This includes such cases as the allocation of spectrum in 6 GHz band in the EU as well as other bands not yet identified for by the EU for spectrum allocation.
The DSA has participated in the following legislative discussions:
- 2030 Digital Compass
- EU Digital Principles
- Path to the Digital Decade Policy Programme
- 5G and 6G in the context of the Digital Decade Strategy
- Role of Spectrum in Climate Change
- EU WRC-27 Positions
And we also follow and participate in these as well:
- BEREC Activities
- RSPG ActivitiesAddress

Meetings

The list below covers meetings with Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general (high-level) Commission meetings published December 2014 to December 2024, and the meetings of Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general and officials holding "management functions" in the Commission published since 1 January 2025. Other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may well have taken place, but the Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. All information below comes from the Commission and not from the registrant.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
