Radio Frequencies
ITU Allocation of Frequencies
A system of allocating specific bands of frequencies to recognized radio
services throughout the world has been evolved over the years through the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a specialized agency of the United
Nation. The ITU is the international body in which the nations of the world cooperate
for the improvement and rational use of telecommunications.
The ITU has an International Frequency Registration Board (IFRB) which
checks to see if frequency notifications on behalf of national administrations are
accord with International Regulation and whether they would cause harmful
interference.
The objectives in regulating the use of the radio frequency spectrum are: to
ensure effective, efficient and prudent use of the radio frequency spectrum, to be
able to comply with the telecommunications rationalization program and the
restructuring of the usage of the radio frequency spectrum. (MOTC Circular No. 8280, December 6, 1982).
The conditions and requirements for the frequency assignments:
1. Applications for radio frequencies shall be subject to the criteria,
rules and regulations established and updated by the NTC;
2. The list of priorities shall be based on national need, safety,
security, economic development, and the nature of operations of
applicants;
3. All radio frequency assignments shall be subject to shared usage,
unless otherwise authorized by the NTC for sole use. (MOTC Circular
No. 82-80).
What priority applications for frequencies may be accepted for processing and
evaluation by the NTC?
The following priority applications may be accepted for processing and
evaluation:
1. Application for additional stations using applicants existing radio
frequencies;
2. Applications for the transfer of station location using applicants
existing radio frequencies;
3. Applications for sharing frequencies.
The general rules for the assignment and use of frequencies are:
