Abstract
This chapter discusses the planning and regulation of the radio frequency spectrum. The International Telecommunications Union administers the planning and regulation of the radio frequency spectrum on a worldwide basis through the World Administrative Radio Conferences. For planning purposes the world is divided into three regions. The boundaries are formed by geographical features suited to the purpose, such as seas, high mountain ranges, or uninhabited remote areas. The World Administrative Radio Conferences decide the use of blocks of the spectrum, for example, sound broadcasting, television, marine communications, and the countries permitted to use the blocks for those allotted purposes. Having been allocated blocks of frequencies for a particular type of use, the administration of each country determines the method of allocating frequency bands from each block to the user categories within their country. Every country has a radio regulatory department within its administration.
