Under the theme of “The Road to Mobile Future: Efficient Spectrum, Affordable Technology”, the 8th Spectrum and Technology Workshop was successfully hosted by International Telecommunications Union (ITU), Telecommunication Development Industry Alliance (TDIA), Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI), and China Mobile this September in Durban.
