SIGNIFICANCE OF SPECTRUM
Radiofrequency management is done
by experts who meld years of experience
with a curious blend of regulations,
electronics, politics and not a little bit of
larceny. They justify requirements, horse‑trade, coerce, bluff and gamble with an
intuition that cannot be taught other than by
long experience'
Vice Admiral Jon L. Boyes

under the Policy directions of Federal Government (MoIT) as
Per Section 8(2) of the Act.
Spectrum is managed by Frequency Allocation Board (FAB). Pakistan Comes under ITU-Region-3

Pakistan Telecom A

RoW is one of the critical factor in expansion of Cellular & WLL network infrastructure across the country.
Policies and Telecom Act doesn’t impose direction on PTA to regulate the BTS towers infrastructure.
All contracts, leasing of land, rental, NOC fees etc by operators were and are negotiated by operators themselves.
As per license clause “The licensee shall have the right for the ROW to construct its network subject to conditions conditions laid down by concerned agencies”.
In Aug 2010,Memorandum of Understanding’s (MOU) were signed between PTA and CMTO’s for encouraging Passive infrastructure sharing to reduce cluttering of towers.
Inter Provincial Coordination Committee (IPCC) of Federal Government was formulated in 1992 and reconstituted in 1996 to coordinate between federal government and the provinces on economic, social and administrative issues.
In Feb 2009, IPCC directed all the provincial governments to charge a nominal one time NOC fee of PKR 30,000/. Organizations however continued to demand their exorbitant fees.

RADIO FREQUENCY SPILL OVER
o Signals emitting across international border that may interfere either • With wireless telecommunication network s
Or• Used to make calls outside international border.
o RF coordination is required to reduce spill over and harmful frequency interference
o Constitution and Convention of ITU urges the Member States to apply their utmost will and efforts for the harmonization and safe/ interference free operation of radio frequency spectrum.
o PTA had also proposed a comprehensive MoU and shared with ATRA through MOFA and Afghan Embassy
• Standard procedures as per ITU Radio Regulations.• Rules for frequency assignment for provision of
