The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) will explain topics ranging from how satellite and terrestrial operators file for radio frequencies to global rules for preventing harmful interference and the inner workings of the international treaty governing radiocommunication at the World Radiocommunication Seminar 2024 (WRS-24).
The plenary sessions will cover ITU's activities supporting radiocommunications from the air, sea, space and land to connect people, drive economies, support industry and contribute to our understanding of the world.
The plenary sessions will be hosted online from 2 to 3 December 2024 and are open to reporters.
