Info
Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (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 4 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 6Ghz 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 in the context of the Digital Decade Strategy
- Role of Spectrum in Climate Change
- EU WRC-23 Positions
And we also follow and participate in these as well:
- BEREC Activities
- RSPG ActivitiesAddress

Other financial info
The Alliance financials are reviewed periodically by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Invoices (incoming and outgoing) are managed by the financial team and reviewed by the Treasurer and President. Any non-discretionary approvals over $1000 USD requires Board approval.
The Alliance uses a third party financial administrative team that has the ability to scale with the organization. In addition to this team, the Alliance also uses another third-party CPA to periodically review its financials and file its taxes.

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
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.
