U.S. Moves to Protect Spectrum

Bob Brewin writes on FCW.com:

Spectrum management in a global environment and its implication for the Defense Department and national security are key themes of this week’s DOD Spectrum Summit in Annapolis, Md. The United States is developing positions and policies for an international conference that will determine spectrum issues and uses.

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU), a United Nations agency, holds a World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) about every four years to coordinate global frequency allocations and uses with the U.N.’s 191 member countries. The United States has already started to develop preliminary positions and policies for the 2007 WRC, planned for Oct. 22 to Nov. 16, 2007, in Geneva.
