🔍 Strategic Sourcing Insights

• The "Mega-Coalition" Dominance: Significant effort has been put into building cross-industry consensus before the Fukuoka meeting. The existence of 7 documents with over 45 signatories indicates a high degree of pre-alignment on the 6G spectrum roadmap.
• Operator-Led Efficiency: Leading operators (NTT DOCOMO, Verizon, CMCC, Vodafone) are the primary drivers of sharing protocols, signaling an industry-wide shift toward capital expenditure minimization.
• Spectrum Bifurcation: Contributions are split between terrestrial 5G-Advanced sharing and TN-NTN (Satellite) sharing, showing the broadening scope of the 3GPP ecosystem.

🎯 Key Contributions to Monitor

• RP-260111 Consensus on Shared Spectrum for 6G - Multi-operator/vendor joint submission.
• SP-260726 SA Plenary: Architectural Framework for Network Sharing - Vodafone, CMCC, Ericsson led.
• RP-262274 AI/ML Enhanced Spectrum Sharing - NTT DOCOMO & Qualcomm technical proposal.
