What is the scope of the (international) Radio Regulations?
The Radio Regulations specify the basic conditions that are relevant for the international radio-regulatory arrangement. Some of these conditions are specified in rather general terms (e.g., the international Table of Frequency Allocations), while some other conditions are specified in a more detailed manner (e.g., procedures for mandatory coordination, notification and recording of frequency assignments). Other elements, such as: procedures for issuing licenses, availability of frequency bands for specific applications, type of approval procedures, use of radio equipment by foreign persons, etc., are governed by national legislation instruments. The national legislation instruments (e.g., national tables of frequency allocations) are not available from ITU, but may be obtained from the regulatory authorities of the concerned Member State. The addresses of the regulatory authorities are contained in the ITU Global Directory: http://www.itu.int/GlobalDirectory/ .
