Regulations, WRC 2015/2019:
Challenges and Opportunities ahead
The document discusses key outcomes and challenges from the 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15) and previews upcoming issues to be addressed at WRC-19. It summarizes decisions from WRC-15 related to spectrum allocations for mobile broadband, satellite services, and unmanned aircraft systems. Issues to be studied for WRC-19 include additional spectrum for 5G, regulatory frameworks for new satellite systems, and ensuring international recognition for satellite earth stations. The chief emphasizes the need for cooperation to facilitate new satellite networks and use satellite technology to connect more people worldwide.
