For me, the priority is the unification of terminology and harmonization of existing regulations. This is the foundation on which further decisions can be built. Specific details should be left for collective discussion in the project working group," says Alexander Sivolobov, Deputy Head of the NTI Competence Center at Skoltech for Wireless Communications and the Internet of Things.
