A review of the Radio Regulations indicates that most of the
frequency spectrum above 10 GHz is assigned to the satellite services
or the radio astronomy service. This does not mean that the FCC or
DOC will utilize them as such, but it does highlight the potential for
use of these frequency bands. Figure 6.1-1 shows those frequency
segments not assigned for potential use by the services listed in
Table 6.1-2 (ITU-1980).
