ARICA (Australian Radio Communications Industry Association ) president Hamish Duff evaluates the success of the association in 2019 in an in-depth article on the website of CriticalComms. In the article Duff said: "It has been another busy year for the Association; it certainly feels like it has gone by in a blur. ARCIA continues to represent the industry across many areas. Spectrum remains a key focus for the industry, ensuring both existing and future arrangements take into account what our industry does for Australia. Members of the Association’s committee attended the annual ACMA RadComms conference in Sydney, have met with ACMA officials and responded to consultation papers. Many areas of spectrum management are changing, with 5G, spectrum sharing and legislation issues prominent. ARCIA has invited ACMA staff to attend our events around the country, as we find this is very useful for both the ACMA and members of the industry. Once again our Executive Officer, Ian Miller, has spent a huge amount of time responding to consultation papers on which the ACMA often provides very little. However, the input from the Association is valued and, regardless of future technology options, the Association believes it is important to highlight the value that all users of spectrum represent."
