ABU Technology Director, Dr Amal Punchihewa, says the ABU fully supports the work done by the WBU and its fellow broadcasting unions to protect important spectrum for broadcasting services. “As radio spectrum becomes more crowded, it is vital to protect its integrity for broadcasters who serve billions of viewers and listeners around the world,” he says. The WBU recommendations state that the use of radio-frequency spectrum by broadcasters remains “an important vehicle for the efficient and scalable delivery of high-quality media content and emergency alerting services to both fixed and mobile audiences”.
