Dennis, << You always cut out the satellite stuff >> Sorry about that. I figured the terrestrial stuff was boring enough. <g> Big implications though in Brazil & LA, which you summarize nicely. << The argument by the European 1800Mhz PCS crowd that Anatel can't allocate 1900Mhz for PCS because they'll need it for IMT-2000 just lost its strength. >> I hope so. Keeping my fingers crossed. - Eric -

Links to the full text of THE WRC-2000 RESOLUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF MOBILE SPECTRUM BY IMT-2000 can be found here. itu.int Rather dry and legalistic, they are of interest only to hard core spectrum wars and telecom buffs. Most interesting ( to me ) are resolutions COM5/24 and COM5/25. Also on the page are the detailed spectrum allocation tables for each of the ITU regions. For those not familiar with ITU regions, very roughly, ITU Region 1 is Europe, Africa, and the area of the old Soviet Union, Region 2 is the Western Hemisphere, Region 3 contains India, China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the island nations of the Pacific. Have I put you to sleep?

Brazilian Congress to influence PCS frequency choice rcrnews.com June 9, 2000 SÇO PAULO, Brazil-Anatel President Renato Guerreiro and Brazil's Minister of Communications Pimenta da Veiga will take part in a 15 June discussion with members of the Brazilian Congress Commission of Science and Technology regarding personal communications services (PCS) licenses. Members of the Brazilian Commission have said the Congress should have input in discussions before Brazil adopts one of two frequencies-1.8 GHz or 1.9 GHz-for the country's C-band PCS licenses. Anatel was expected to make its much-delayed decision regarding the frequency choice following the end of last week's World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC)-2000 in Istanbul, Turkey. Guerreiro said this week the frequency decision will be announced 21 June. However, the decision may be further delayed due to the congressional members' insistence on being included in the debate regarding the government criteria for the choice of frequency.
