Episode Synopsis

WRC-19 concludes with new ITU regulations for operators of smallsat megaconstellations.  

But what are these new smallsat / cubesat regulations, and what do they mean?  

Join Jason Kanigan of Cold Star Tech for a quick look at the history of and reason for the World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC-19), held in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, 28 October to 22 November 2019, regulations for International Telecommunication Union members on small satellite constellation deployment milestones.  

With these regulations, the ITU seeks to ensure member state operators do not "warehouse spectrum" and block other, smaller operators from access.
