What law would you most like to change?
One thing relevant to the work I’m doing at the moment with AddOn Networks is the forced labour that still takes place within supply chains across the United Kingdom.

In high-threat theatres, communications availability can determine mission success. Today’s military operations demand systems that can adapt, endure and deliver under pressure.
