Future ITU Radio Conferences

The 1979 World Administrative Conference (WARC-79) was tasked, by the terms of its agenda, to consider the need for holding future radio conferences to deal with specific radio services. As a consequence, WARC-79 identified an extensive program of 11 world or regional conferences to be convened in the years immediately ahead. The most challenging and complex conferences will be two WARC's (in two sessions each) to consider the planning of the HF Broadcasting service and the planning of space services utilizing the geostationary-satellite orbit. Both conferences will deal with means of assuring equitable access to the radio spectrum (and to the orbit in the case of space services) by all administrations.
