The rapid growth of wireless services is stressing the radio spectrum and pressures Governments to accelerate regulatory decisions in order to ensure its efficient use. In this scenario ITU provides an open and transparent forum for interested parties to make their proposals and seek coordinated solutions.
The use and efficient management of radio spectrum stands as a key step in reducing the gap in access to the knowledge society. Consequently, this Forum is in line with the objectives of the ITU Development Bureau (BDT) and, in particular, with the Regional Initiative for the Americas aimed to assist Member States in spectrum management issues.
