The WRC is mandated to review, and, if necessary, revise the Radio Regulations, the international treaty governing the use of the radio-frequency spectrum and the geostationary-satellite and non-geostationary-satellite orbits. Any revisions are made on the basis of an agenda determined by the ITU Council, which takes into account recommendations made by previous world radiocommunication conferences. This Seminar will explore the results and outcomes of the WRC-19 and the global and regional implications for member states and the ICT sector and impact on other sectors utilizing frequency spectrum.
