This paper proposes to use the perspective of the business case to deal with the alignment between the introduction of new technology and the regulatory environment. Although this perspective can be used more generally this paper deals with this perspective in the context of the alignment between the introduction of Cognitive Radio technology and the regulatory environment for the use of the radio spectrum. The value of this approach is demonstrated through a review of historical cases of changes in radio spectrum management and introduction of new (radio) technology. It proposes to use this approach to explore Use Cases within a Community of Practice as a possible way forward for coordination between the actors involved to allow successful deployment of cognitive radio and to realise the goal of improved utilisation of the radio spectrum.
