ITU VIDEO: WRC-12 Opening

Images from the opening day of the World Radiocommunication Conference 2012 in Geneva, Switzerland.

The World Radiocommunication Conference opened in Geneva on the 23rd January 2012, to review and revise the Radio Regulations, the international treaty governing the use of radio-frequency spectrum and satellite orbits.

The work of this international treaty-making Conference will be conducted over four weeks until 17 February to address the changes required to the regulation of orbit/spectrum resources in the interest of the users of these scarce resources, with global implications for policy-makers, regulators, the industry as well as end-users.

Over 3000 participants, representing more than 150 out of the ITU's 193 Member States are expected to attend the four-week conference, making it one of the most significant ITU events. About 100 Observers from among ITU's 700 private sector members along with international organizations will also attend the 2012 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-12).
