Adjournment Matters. - Satellite Space Allocation.

 

Another part of the international radio regulations deals with national allotments for two-way satellite transmission systems. This type of system would typically be used for the telecommunications service, including Internet access. Within this part of the international regulations Ireland has certain rights of access to satellite frequency bands and orbit segments. However, these rights are general in nature. Considerable work would have to be undertaken by a prospective operator in conjunction with the regulator to convert these general rights into operational characteristics and obtain the necessary agreements in accordance with the provisions of the international radio regulations.
