  • Introduction to International Radio Regulations
    ICTP Lecture Notes INTRODUCTION TO INTERNATIONAL RADIO REGULATIONS 3 – 21 February 2003 Editor S.M. Radicella The Abdus Salam ICTP, Trieste, Italy INTRODUCTION TO INTERNATIONAL RADIO REGULATIONS - First edition Copyright © 2003 by The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics The Abdus Salam ICTP has the irrevocable and indefinite authorization to reproduce and disseminate these Lecture Notes, in printed and/or computer readable form, from the author. ISBN 92-95003-23-3 Printed in Trieste by the Abdus Salam ICTP Publications & Printing Section Introduction to International Radio Regulations iii Introduction to International Radio Regulations v Introduction It is a pleasure for me to introduce these notes, which contain an overview of basic problems of the International Radio Regulations. Access to the existing information infrastructure, and to that of the future Information Society, depends critically on radio, especially in poor, remote and sparsely populated regions with under-developed telecommunication infrastructure. How the spectrum of radio frequencies is regulated has profound impact on the society, its security, prosperity, and culture. The radio regulations represent a very important framework for an adequate use of radio and should be known by all of those working in the field. The author of these notes Professor Ryszard (Richard) Struzak, Co-Director of the series of schools on Radio Use at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), is very well qualified to present the issue having been Vice-Chair of the Radio Regulations Board of International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN). He is also former Co- Chair of the Spectrum Management/ Utilization Working Group of International Union of Radio Science (URSI).
