Turks and Caicos Islands Spectrum Plan/Table of Frequency Allocations Pursuant to sections 30 and 39 of the Telecommunications Ordinance 2004 and section 4 of the Frequency Management Regulations 2005, this Notice announces the release for comments and consultation of the Turks and Caicos Islands Spectrum Plan/Table of Frequency Allocations. The deregulation of the telecommunication industry within the Turks and Caicos Islands necessitated the provision of a spectrum plan to serve as a guide to the various operators and announce the use of the various frequency bands. This spectrum plan is proposed for the Turks and Caicos and is based on the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) recommendations. It encompasses most of the decisions adopted by the ITU at the World Radio Conference 2003 (WRC-2003)

The Turks and Caicos Islands Spectrum Plan/Table of Frequency Allocations allocates frequency bands to radio services within the scope of the International Table and as required to meet Turks and Caicos Islands needs. The footnotes provide the particular provisions and conditions for use of those radio services in Turks and Caicos Islands.

In accordance with section 30 of the Telecommunications Ordinance 2004 and sub-sections 4(6), (7) and (8) of the Frequency Management Regulations 2005, the Turks and Caicos Islands Telecommunications Commission establishes the following allocations pertaining to the 2300 MHz to 2450 MHz band and in the method for authorizing the use of this band as set out in the table below. The allocations are as set out in TCITC Decision 2009 – 3, dated February 17, 2009 and are effective as of that date.

In accordance with section 30 of the Telecommunications Ordinance 2004 and sub-sections 4(6), (7) and (8) of the Frequency Management Regulations 2005, the Turks and Caicos Islands Telecommunications Commission hereby gives notice that it proposes changes in allocations pertaining to the 3.4 MHz to 3.6 MHz band and in the method for authorizing the use of this band as set out in the table below. It is proposed that these changes will come into effect on 1 September 2008.
