ADSL South Africa - Frequency Spectrum
Allocation
This section of ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) is
dedicated to the importance of timely frequency spectrum allocation in the building of a consumer friendly
telecoms
regime.
'The radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic
spectrum is an aspect of the physical world which, like land, water, and air, is subject to usage limitations. Use
of radio frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum is regulated by governments in most countries, in a
Spectrum management process known as frequency allocation or spectrum allocation. Radio propagation does not stop
at national boundaries. Giving technical and economic reasons, governments have sought to harmonise the allocation
of RF bands and their standardisation' (Wikipedia).
In other words, frequency allocation or
spectrum allocation refers to the management process where governments regulates radio frequency bands of the
electromagnetic spectrum.
