I want to introduce Ram Jakhu to RadiocomAlumni. Ram is now a Professor at McGill University. We have been friends since the 1970's when Ram was a graduate student at Mcgill and he worked part time in the Department of Communications for about 2 years while he was writing his thesis. This background immersed Ram in the subject of the legal and regulatory aspects of space regulation and he continues with that interest today at The McGill Institute of Air and Space Law where he is an Associate Professor.
