RES238 – 297 – k) that identification of frequency bands allocated to mobile service for IMT may change the sharing situation regarding applications of services to which the frequency band is already allocated, and may require additional regulatory actions; l) the need to protect existing services and to allow for their continued development when considering frequency bands for possible additional allocations to any service, noting a) that Resolution ITU-R 65 addresses the principles for the process of development of IMT for 2020 and beyond, and that Question ITU-R 77-7/5 considers the needs of developing countries in the development and implementation of IMT; b) that Question ITU-R 229/5 seeks to address the further development of IMT; c) that IMT encompasses both IMT-2000, IMT-Advanced, and IMT-2020 collectively, as described in Resolution ITU-R 56-2; d) Recommendation ITU-R M.2083, on the framework and objectives of the future development of IMT for 2020 and beyond; e) that Report ITU-R M.2320 addresses future technology trends of terrestrial IMT systems; f) Report ITU-R M.2376, on technical feasibility of IMT in the frequency bands above 6 GHz; g) that Report ITU-R M.2370 analyses trends impacting future IMT traffic growth beyond the year 2020 and estimates global traffic demands for the period 2020 to 2030; h) that there are ongoing studies within ITU-R on the propagation characteristics for mobile systems in higher frequency bands; i) the relevance of provisions in Nos. 5.340, 5.516B, 5.547 and 5.553, which may need to be taken into account in studies; j) that the FSS allocation in the frequency band 24.65-25.25 GHz was made by WRC-12, recognizing a) that there is a lead time between the allocation of frequency bands by world radiocommunication conferences and the deployment of systems in those bands, and that timely availability of wide and contiguous blocks of spectrum is therefore important to support the development of IMT; b) that frequency bands allocated to passive services on an exclusive basis are not suitable for an allocation to the mobile service; c) that any identification of frequency bands for IMT should take into account the use of the bands by other services and the evolving needs of these services; d) that there should be no additional regulatory or technical constraints imposed to services to which the band is currently allocated on a primary basis,
