Sophie James

Head of Telecoms and Spectrum Policy at techUK

Speaker

I lead techUK’s Communications Infrastructure and Services Programme, which brings together FTSE 100 companies and SMEs from across the sector—fixed, wireless, mobile, satellite and equipment suppliers—to advocate for a connected future for all. The programme represents the views of techUK members to government departments and regulators, as well as bring industry together to solve challenges or take advantage of new technology trends.

Prior to joining techUK, I completed a masters in Film Studies at UCL. My dissertation focused on the commercial relationships and digital infrastructure of Netflix, its impact on the media industry, and how the streaming platform interacted with telecommunications regulators and ISPs.
