7.2 NATIONAL AND REGIONAL REGULATIONSIt is logical to institute a national or regional regulatory body that oversees <strong>and</strong>manages the country’s or region’s spectrum <strong>and</strong> adopt national (or regional)legislation that includes, as the basic minimum, the essential provisions <strong>of</strong> theInternational Telecommunication Convention. This is necessary because theInternational Telecommunication Convention <strong>and</strong> Radio Regulations annexedto the Convention are intergovernmental treaties, which have been ratified <strong>and</strong>accepted by the governments <strong>of</strong> the countries. These governments are bound toapply the provisions <strong>of</strong> the treaties in their countries <strong>and</strong> the other geographicalareas under their jurisdiction. In reality, a regional body is formed in thecontext <strong>of</strong> bilateral agreements with neighboring countries to settle policy oroperational issues, for the purpose <strong>of</strong> coordinating the establishment <strong>of</strong>telecommunication systems <strong>and</strong> importantly for other items <strong>of</strong> mutual interest.To this effect, a country must adopt national legislation, that is enforceable,enabling the national regulatory body1. To develop regulations for effective use <strong>of</strong> spectrum on the basis <strong>of</strong>national or regional priorities.2. To coordinate <strong>and</strong> oversee long-term spectrum management policy<strong>and</strong> planning.3. To identify the spectrum requirements, which satisfy the need <strong>of</strong> thecountry or region.4. To develop technical st<strong>and</strong>ards.5. To monitor, detect, <strong>and</strong> resolve operational irregularities, harmfulinterference, <strong>and</strong> technical ambiguities.6. To conduct negotiations relating to frequency spectrum management<strong>and</strong> related matters that may improve technical <strong>and</strong> administrativecooperation with other countries <strong>and</strong> internationalorganizations.7. To keep accurate <strong>and</strong> up-to-date data records. This is a requirement<strong>of</strong> utmost importance for effective national, regional, <strong>and</strong> internationalcoordination; licensing <strong>and</strong> enforcement activities; policyformulation; interference investigation <strong>and</strong> resolution; <strong>and</strong> financialconsiderations.8. To participate in ITU Study Group(s) where national or regionalinterests are safeguarded.9. To provide personnel training for frequency management, such astraining in the IFRB, CCIR, <strong>and</strong> that supplemented by other meanslike seminars organized by the IFRB, exchange <strong>of</strong> staff with othercountries, <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>s-on operational experience on the job.Copyright © 2002 by Marcel Dekker, Inc.
