"The ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) is the global forum on the evolution of radio technologies and uses where spectrum allocations and provisions necessary to this evolution are decided.
Bringing countries of the world to work together to reap the benefits of radiocommunications has been a permanent goal during my entire career."
