8. Preparations for (WRC-15)
U.S. Department of State’s Role
In general, U.S. objectives for WRC-15 are based upon five guiding principles:
(1) ensuring roll-out of new communication technologies and services;
(2) securing protection for critical government systems and services providing them with capacity to expand;
(3) ensuring WRC carries out its mandate to manage, efficiently and effectively, the radiofrequency spectrum internationally;
(4) establishing an environment that fosters predictable, transparent, pro-competitive regulatory policies for telecommunication; and
(5) limiting the scope of issues to treaty level issues
