2004
Spectrum Assumes
Responsibility for
U.S. Coordination
International borders do not recognize radio
communications, therefore, Canada and the United States have established formal
arrangements to consult with each other for proposed radio communications
stations located within 120 kms of the international border. This helps to
ensure that proposed stations on either side of the border will not cause
interference to existing radio communications systems. Up until May 31, 2003,
the responsibility for analysing proposed U.S. land/mobile stations resided with
Industry Canada Spectrum management staff located in our headquarters in Ottawa.
However, on June 1, 2003, our region assumed responsibility for the technical
analysis for a portion of the new proposed U.S. stations. This included a
recommendation whether to accept or reject the proposed U.S. stations. Effective
April 1, 2004, we gained responsibility for the technical analysis for all of
the proposed new U.S. land/mobile stations.
