1. It's important to have a woman, who helps at home,

who cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a

job.

2. It's important to have a woman, who can make you

laugh

4. It's important to have a woman, who is good in bed

and who likes to be with you.

5. It's very, very important that these four women no

not know each other.

INTERNATIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR SPECTRUM REGULATIONS

26


At the international level, spectrum is managed by the Radiocommunication Sector

of the ITU (ITU-R)

27


To ensure rational, equitable, efficient and economical use of the

radio-frequency spectrum by all radiocommunication services,

including those using satellite orbits

ITU-R Mission

28


ITU-R aims to create the conditions

for harmonized development and

efficient operation of existing and

new radiocommunication systems,

taking due account of all parties

concerned

29


ITU-R Activities

Timely adoption and/or update of the

international regulations on the use of

spectrum: the Radio Regulations and the

Regional Agreements,

Standardization of radiocommunication

equipment by the adoption of

Recommendations intended to assure the

necessary performance and quality in

operating radiocommunication systems.

Information and assistance to ITU membership

on the most efficient use of spectrum

WORLD RADIOCOMMUNICATION CONFERENCE

WRC

51


WRC

Held every 3 or 4 years

Update Radio Regulations (RR) -

International treaty

Article 5: International Table of

Frequency Allocations

52


The Radio Regulations

(treaty status)

incorporates the decisions

of the World

Radiocommunication

Conferences, including all

Appendices, Resolutions,

Recommendations and

ITU-R Recommendations

incorporated by reference.

Frequency block allocations to defined radio services (Article 5)

Mandatory or voluntary regulatory procedures (coordination, plan modification, notification, recording) that are adapted to the allocation structure

Radio Regulations (RR)


Frequency Allocations

WRCs base their decisions on studies carried

out within the ITU-R, which comprises most

private and public stakeholders in the

industry.

These studies are intended to ensure that

WRC decisions satisfy emerging spectrum

requirements while protecting the investments

which have been made in the past under the

current allocations.

The primary objective is to ensure that

interference between radiocommunication

systems is always kept under control.

54


Consensus

WRCs generally take their

decisions by consensus

To ensure that

all ITU Member States are satisfied

with these decisions and

will continue to apply the Radio

Regulations by implementing them

into their national regulations.

55


Shared Allocations

Provide a large degree of flexibility to

ITU Member States in establishing

radiocommunication services which suit

their needs.

Each country may decide independently

which service(s) it wishes to deploy in

this part of the spectrum, provided that

interference can be kept under control

by carrying out successfully frequency

coordination with its neighbours

56


Footnotes

Flexibility is also given by the large

number of footnotes to the Table

of Frequency Allocations of the RR,

which provide for alternative or

additional allocations for particular

countries.

These derogations have been

accepted by past WRCs as a price

to pay to achieve consensus.

57


ROLE OF REGIONAL GROUPS

58


Growing Attendance at WRCs

Illustrate the increasing importance of

spectrum decisions at international level

The last conference, held in January-February 2012,

attracted over 3000 delegates from 165 countries.

Achieving consensus over difficult issues such

as new mobile allocations would be impossible

without the strong involvement and leadership

of regional groups, which federate the views of

their members by making common proposals

for each region

59


Six main regional groups

Americas (CITEL)

Africa (ATU)

Arab States (ASMG)

Europe (CEPT)

CIS (RCC)

Asia-Pacific (APT).

60


700 MHz Band – WRC12

During WRC-12, the concerted efforts of these

groups permitted to reconcile highly diverging

interests:

Instead of making an allocation limited to the

countries which had been asking for it

these efforts resulted in a decision to delay the

allocation to 2015, in order to enable the

development of harmonized frequency plans, hence

worldwide economies of scale.

This decision reaffirms spectrum

harmonization as the primary objective of the

ITU, at the expense of flexibility.

61


Regional Harmonisation

Another essential role of regional

groups is also to drive regional

spectrum harmonisation by

developing regional regulatory

decisions which are intended to

operate a choice in the “à la carte

menu” offered by the ITU

framework

62


Conclusions

International spectrum Management

needs to reconcile many potentially

conflicting objectives: Achieving a proper balance between the spectrum

requirements of commercial and public services,

Preserving cultural and social assets

Benefitting from the economies of scale and

international roaming allowed by worldwide

harmonisation

Bridging the digital divide.

Giving long term stability to investments and protect

them against interference.

63


Sustainable development is now becoming a critical issue

for spectrum decisions. International spectrum

policies are being and will

continue to be adjusted to

this requirement

64


Future is not the place we are going but the place that

we’re making!

Paths to the future are made

not found!

65


SEE YOU ALL AT WRC-15!

Thank you for your attention!
