15.1 Overview

15.1.1 Relationship to Traditional Spectrum Management

The introduction to the 2005 edition of the ITU‐R National Spectrum Management Handbook states:

Society's increasing use of radio‐based technologies, and the tremendous opportunities for social development that these technologies provide, highlight the importance of radio‐frequency spectrum and national spectrum management processes. Technological progress has continually opened doors to a variety of new spectrum applications that have spurred greater interest in, and demand for, the limited spectrum resource. Increased demand requires that spectrum be used efficiently and ...
