In addition to observing the relevant regulations of the International Telecommunication Union, INTELSAT shall, in the design, development, construction and establishment of the INTELSAT space segment and in the procedures established for regulating the operation of the INTELSAT space segment and of the earth stations, give due consideration to the relevant recommendations and procedures of the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee, the International Radio Consultative Committee and the International Frequency Registration Board.
International Telecommunication Union. Notes: * A contract on the exchange of notifications of radio broadcasting frequencies between the Pan American Union and the Governments of Canada, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico and the United States was signed at Washington on December 20, 1957, effective January 1, 1958.

International Telecommunication Union. Notes: * The 1982 convention has been abrogated and replaced in relations between contracting parties by the Constitution and Convention of the International Telecommunication Union adopted at Geneva December 22, 1992 (see below). Only those states parties to the 1982 convention that are not parties to the 1992 Constitution and Convention are bound. The 1982 international telecommunication convention replaced the Malaga-Torremolinos convention of October 25, 1973 (28 UST 2495; TIAS 8572), as between contracting parties to the later convention. Costa Rica, Grenada, Guinea-Bissau, Nauru, and Yugoslavia (see note under YUGOSLAVIA in Section 1) are parties to the 1973 convention but not parties to the later conventions. The Dominican Republic is a party to the Montreux convention of November 12, 1965 (18 UST 545; TIAS 6267) but not a party to the later conventions. Partial revisions of Radio Regulations (Geneva, 1979): Relating to mobile services (MOB-83). Done at Geneva March 18, 1983. Entered into force January 15, 1985; for the United States April 6, 1993. TIAS
International Telecommunication Union. Notes: * The 1992 Constitution and Convention replaced the international telecommunication convention adopted at Nairobi November 6, 1982, as between the contracting parties to the Constitution and Convention. For the position of states which have signed but not ratified the Constitution and Convention, see article 52 of the Constitution.
International Telecommunication Union. ITU-R The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the main standardisation body in terms of visibility, and specifically to lead to the adoption of open ideas. The ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) is in general responsible for radio communication. Especially the Study Group 6 (SG6) is relevant for ORPHEUS, which deals with radio communication broadcasting, including vision, sound, multimedia and data services, principally intended for delivery to the general public. BBC, IRT, and FHG are active members in many study groups and especially follow works related to broadcasting, spatial audio and audio evaluation. These project partners are therefore able to bring ORPHEUS findings to the sub-working groups on audio-related topics in the Working Parties 6B and 6C of SG6, as well as to multiple rapporteur groups. Joint, coordinated contributions of the relevant ORPHEUS partners will maximise the input.
International Telecommunication Union. The International Telecommunication Union (the “ITU”) is the specialized organism of the United Nations for the technologies of information and communication. It is in charge of maintaining and extending the international cooperation among its Member States for the improvement and rational use of all kind of communications, to impulse the development of the technical media and its efficient exploitation, in order to increase the output of the telecommunication services, to increase the use thereof and to generalize as much as possible its use by the public. At the present, the ITU has 193 Member States, among which is Mexico. The ITU performs the allocation, the allotment and the registration of the frequency bands of the radioelectric spectrum for the communication services. With regard to the space communications, the ITU is depositary of the instruments, procedures and information basis used to carry out the international coordination for the use and occupation of the Geostationary Orbital Positions (the “POGs” [for its signals in Spanish]) and of the other orbits and its respective associated frequencies in order to avoid harmful interferences between the satellite networks of the several Member States. In this regard, Mexico, as a Member State of the ITU, substantiates the proceedings to occupy and to exploit the GOPs with associated frequency bands, according to that set forth by the Radio Regulations of the ITU (the “RR”).
