The International Telecommunication Union committee 1 ,

Alarmed by the lack of international and national regulations,

Recalling that mobile networks are responsible for 2% of total greenhouse gas emissions,

Alarmed by the increasing digital divide between genders, countries, and geographical areas,

and the lack of access to technologies in many areas,

Aware of the need to enhance the capabilities of 5G to improve healthcare, education, AI
and the interconnectivity of people and objects globally,

Affirming the actions of the ITU in identifying spectrum bands for 5G usage and aiming for
global cooperation,

1. Encourages the establishment of global regulations among all States wishing to deploy
5G in their countries, setting the rules and the law in relation to the deployment of 5G,
covering cybersecurity, human health, and other sectors;

2. Strongly recommends the adoption and reservation of frequency bands at an

international level for IMT-2020, so that these frequencies allow full use of the potential
of this new network by :
a. Allocating low frequencies, around 1GHz, for a greater range that would allow
less densely populated areas to be served, but also for the generalisation of the

Internet of Things,
b. Allocating medium frequencies, approximately 1 to 6GHz, to obtain a
compromise between speed and range, ideal in certain urban contexts,

c. Allocating frequencies above 6GHz, for 5G applications requiring ultra-fast
speed;

3. Proposes the establishment of a committee to establish progressive international

regulations for the deployment of 5G, which will be responsible for establishing action
plans aimed in particular at :
