  Agenda item 1.11                                 
  ------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------

1.11 to review sharing criteria and regulatory provisions for protection
of terrestrial services, in particular the terrestrial television
broadcasting service, in the band 620-790 MHz from
broadcasting-satellite service networks and systems, in accordance with
Resolution **545 (WRC‑03)**

Introduction

APT members support Method B in the CPM Report whereby a possible
regulatory procedure to satisfy the agenda item could consist of
suppression of RR No. 5.311 (WRC-03) and Recommendation 705 and a draft
new Resolution \[ASP/AI1.11/1-620-790 MHz\] (WRC-07) be adopted by
WRC‑07 to recognize the rights and obligations of the use of the
frequency band 620-790 MHz by satellite networks notified, and brought
into use and the date of bringing into use confirmed before the end of
WRC‑03.

Resolution \[ASP/AI1.11/1-620-790 MHz\] (WRC-07)

Use of the frequency band 620-790 MHz for existing assignments to\
the broadcasting-satellite service

The World Radiocommunication Conference 2007 (Geneva, 2007),

considering

*a)* that the Regional Radiocommunication Conference, Geneva 2006
(RRC-06) has adopted an Agreement and associated Plans for digital
terrestrial broadcasting for Region 1, except Mongolia, and the Islamic
Republic of Iran in the frequency bands 174-230 MHz and 470‑862 MHz;

*b)* that the above-mentioned conference, in its Resolution 1 (RRC-06)
invited WRC-07, when considering Agenda item 1.11, to ensure that the
Plan(s) established shall be effectively protected, *inter alia*, from
the BSS GSO and non-GSO broadcasting-satellite networks/systems
operating or planned to operate in the frequency band 620-790 MHz;

*c)* that many administrations have extensive infrastructure for the
transmission and reception of analogue and digital television signals
between 620 MHz and 790 MHz;

*d)* that it is necessary to protect terrestrial services such as the
terrestrial television broadcasting services, fixed, mobile and the
aeronautical radionavigation services in the 620-790 MHz band (see also
Nos. **5.293**, **5.300**, **5.309** and **5.312**);

*e)* that since WRC-03 the Radiocommunication Bureau has received
filings for satellite systems and networks in the band 620-790 MHz under
No. **5.311**,

recognizing

*a)* that in accordance with provisions in No. **5.311**, developed at a
previous conference (1979), two assignments to "STATSIONAR T" and
"STATSIONAR T2" BSS networks in the band 620-790 MHz were notified;

*b)* that Resolution **545 (WRC-03)** established that no new satellite
networks or systems would be brought into use and that their date of
bringing into use confirmed before the end of the World
Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2003) (WRC‑03);

*c)* that, according to the records of the Bureau, there has been no
complaint of any harmful interference to or request for claiming
protection for these two assignments from the terrestrial television
systems of any administration;

*d)* that GE06 Resolution 1 (RRC-06) -- Broadcasting-satellite service
in the band 620‑790 MHz, *resolves to invite WRC-07* to take appropriate
and necessary measures to effectively protect the broadcasting Plans
adopted by RRC-06 and their subsequent evolution from the GSO‑BSS and/or
non-GSO BSS networks/systems which were not brought into use prior to
5 July 2003,

further recognizing

*a)* that there is a need to authorize these two assignments to continue
their operation in providing the broadcasting-satellite service to their
intended service area;

*b)* that this Conference has suppressed provision No. **5.311**, in the
light of the protection requirements of the terrestrial television
systems mentioned in *considering* above,

> *resolves*

1 that GSO BSS networks in the frequency band 620-790 MHz notified,
recorded in the MIFR and brought into use prior to 5 July 2003 shall be
allowed to continue to operate in accordance with the parameters
recorded in the MIFR with favourable finding;

2 that for any filings other than those referred to in *resolves* 1
(satellite systems and networks submitted to the Radiocommunication
Bureau and not notified or brought into use prior to or since WRC-03),
appropriate action shall be undertaken to return these filings to the
submitting administrations,

instructs the Director of the Radiocommunication Bureau

to implement this Resolution.

**Reasons:** Resolution 545 (WRC‑03) enables all existing satellite
systems to continue to operate without any additional regulatory
constraints, and to ensure that such systems can be replaced with ones
using identical technical parameters and subject to the same regulatory
procedures that existed prior to WRC-03. However, BR has taken receipt
of filings since WRC-03. Resolution \[ASP/AI1.11/1-620-790 MHz\]
(WRC-07) suppresses any future assignments in the frequency band 620-790
MHz. This Resolution instructs BR on how to deal with any filings
received prior to and after WRC-03.
