Simon Rockman

Wireless Market Associate

One of the best connected people in the industry, Simon has alternated between writing about mobile technology and working in it since 1992 when he founded What Mobile magazine. While working for The Register he broke several major stories. A board member of Cambridge Wireless he held senior roles at Motorola, Sony Ericsson and the GSMA.

His areas of expertise include coverage and not spots, spectrum, in particular applying for spectrum licences, accessibility for older and disabled people, MVNOs, Open RAN and mobile payments. He works closely with DISIT and Ofcom. His expertise in Local Access Licences has seen him being successful in more applications than all other bidders combined.

Simon’s work as a journalist has given him considerable insight into the big picture for the mobile industry and ability to document technologies and trends in a manner that can easily be understood by those outside of the industry.
