In response to increasing demand for satellite communications – and reflective of international cooperation to facilitate expanded access to satellite connectivity – harmful interference prevention regulations and measures are being discussed, developed and implemented worldwide. Building upon dialogue between the ITU and the international ICT community during WRC-12, which has been ongoing since, the Bureau is pleased to announce the holding of a one-day workshop in Geneva on 10 June 2013.
The Geneva workshop will be an open event where participation of national administrations, the satellite communications industry, user community, other ICT stakeholders, as well as all those with an interest in the topic, is strongly encouraged.
The workshop will provide ITU stakeholders with an opportunity:
- to learn about harmful interference situations affecting satellite systems,
- to review the ongoing regulatory and technical initiatives and strategies for solving the issue, and
- to share reports on practices and the impact those measures are having on ICT operational effectiveness and service.
