Spectrum Policy and Regulatory Issues

Abstract

The Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC-19) will convene in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, from 28 October to 22 November 2019. These conferences are held every three to four years. It is the job of WRC to review and, if necessary, revise the Radio Regulations, the international treaty governing the use of the radio-frequency spectrum and the geostationary-satellite and non-geostationary-satellite orbits. Revisions are made on the basis of an agenda determined by the ITU Council, which takes into account recommendations made by previous world radiocommunication conferences. Reports on the WRC-19 agenda and examines regulations to be considered.
