What is the purpose of frequency allocation?

The International Telecommunication Union defines frequency allocation as being of “a given frequency band for the purpose of its use by one or more terrestrial or space radiocommunication services or the radio astronomy service under specified conditions “.

Having more spectrum helps operators to deliver this better user experience . In particular, aggregating spectrum into larger downlink carriers raises peak data speeds but also more generally helps to provide the higher average speeds valued by many users.

19.4 The ICAO and the ITU The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) is the leading UN agency for telecommunications. The ITU is responsible for the allocation, assignment, and registration of bands of the radio-frequency spectrum.
