The first issue didn’t have a name. populations the business case is challenging. DCMS has It was just the UK5G magazine and was supposed to be a one-off. backed several innovative projects that are using different ways of thinking to bridge the gap. But that went to a reprint and led to a second edition, by which time we had a name. As you read this we are planning further issues. Over the last year and a bit we’ve gone from 5G being something for the future to something that’s happening. What makes it different from previous generations of phone networks is that we’ve experimented with it. Of course with the previous versions, we had ideas about what might happen – 3G was going to be all about video calling but it took 20 years for that to be a real thing. With 5G we’ve had, and have, the Testbeds and Trials, through which we’ve been noodling with 5G ideas to see what might work. What we’ve learnt is that 5G will touch every aspect of daily life, so it’s great to look at how plans are being put in place to spread connectivity everywhere. In this issue we look at three ways in which this will be done. The Shared Rural Network is a programme to fill in the total and partial not-spots around the UK. It’s brought together the four major networks, and the UK Government is working with them to invest over £1bn on it. This work is starting as a 4G project, but we can expect the network to lay the route for upgrades to 5G. All the major equipment suppliers are building infrastructure with 5G 34 36 updates in mind. We meet Ben Roome, charged with delivering the SECURE BY WORLDWIDE 5G project, on page 21. DESIGN Collaboration runs at The second project is the Emergency Services Network. This takes Thirteen rules provide the different levels: within the police, fire brigade, ambulance and customs services off the guidelines for security.

To provide connectivity that’s Rogers explains what they projects inside the UK and are and why they matter. those around the world. approaching the levels of the dedicated network, BT is working with government to put in extra coverage in the hard-to-reach places. That infrastructure will then be available for all the mobile networks to use. James Atkinson interviews the head of the project at EE, Richard Harrap, on page 26. The third leg of rural coverage is DCMS’s innovation-led approach, the Rural Connected Communities project; this is a follow-on from the Testbeds and Trials programme that is building systems that will enable local areas to determine what they need and researching the technology to deliver it.

    Great Expectations The Football Issue. “The world is changing. If you don’t change with it, you’ll be left behind.” Robbie Lyle, Founder, ArsenalFanTV Foreword Introduction: The Football Issue First Half: Expectations Gap for Fans The fan experience Democratisation of media Fan consumption is shifting Gaming enters the premier league Women’s football scores growing interest The sidelines of football Fan engagement Brand partnerships today The future of brand partnerships What it means for your brand Half Time Interviews Contents Daniel Wood Matt Wilson Oonagh O’Reilly Robbie Lyle James Kirkham Gareth Capon Russell Stopford Shane Stafford Second Half: Expectations Gap for Players The field of play 1: The access gap 2: The coaching gap 3: The conditioning gap 4: The skills gap 5: The self-knowledge gap 6: The personalisation gap 7: The relationship gap The final whistle Acknowledgements Foreword Welcome to the first in a series of exclusive research reports exploring industries where the gap between consumer expectations and what they’re traditionally served is widening. In this report, we reveal the gap faced by football fans and players, the rise of innovators and new technologies to bridge that gap, and what this means for brands who partner (or would like to partner) with the beautiful game. Opportunities for brands are opening up to partner with the disrupters and innovators. Now is the time to take the leap. Jon Reay, Matt Boffey, Head of Strategy, e3 MD, LSU Why football? Introduction: Football is live, social and global. It’s unscripted drama, with a passionately loyal fanbase. Football teams are ‘love brands’ that don’t need to advertise.

    • V.I IJ SPORTS PHILATELISTS (((INTERNATIONAL IPHILHTELy Number 5 Kay - June 1977 Volume 15 PKIMTELIG gOLF by George Aulbacij Topical philatelists - want an interesting challenge? Take a look at the refreshing topical field of GOLF , golf cancellations and golf meters. They are not too expensive, just difficult to locate requiring much time and effort. If you should play a little golf, the subject will hold more interest. First, we must understand and appreciate the position of golf in the world today, it is played by over 25 million in more than 100 countries, it is inter­ national. We believe it originated in Scotland over four centuries ago, before America was discovered. Today it is the largest combination participant and spectator sport in the world. Millions each year play or watch golf matches on TV. Golf is a stepping stone for many people for many things. The necessary playing and course maintenance equipment has developed the game into a multi billion dollar industry. To the average business man, its action for recreation. To many executives, it is a medium to promote better business relations and new contacts. Others play for its social value. Golf is a natural attraction around the world for the promotion of resort tourist trade. This is where it hits the philatelic target. Undeveloped countries are using golf stamps to push tourism and more income for their areas. Each year the British use a variety of cancellations promoting charity related golf tournaments. In this country we see many kinds of commercial meter postage promoting golf equipment, tournaments and golfing resorts.
