Abstract

The international regulatory framework which resulted form the 1988 International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Conference on Space Services (ORB-88) and its potential effect on the implementation of US satellite systems are discussed. The impact of several significant results of ORB-88 on the ability of the FCC to assign geostationary satellite orbital positions within the US and to secure international protection for these assignments is reviewed. A table of fixed satellite service frequency allocations in North, Central, and South America is given
