18. ITU-R PROCESS • ITU WRC-03, Geneva, July 2003 decisions: • The mobile-satellite secondary allocation now includes the Aeronautical Mobile-Satellite Service (AMSS) in the frequency band 14.0 – 14.5 GHz • New frequency allocation came into effect on 5 July 2003 • Conference also noted that AMSS downlinks (satellite to AES) will operate in the band 10.7 – 12.75 GHz under RR provision 4.4

19. CBB Operating Scenarios • From a regulatory perspective there are the operating scenarios below that need to be considered by national Regulators for CBB operations: • Operation of CBB on foreign aircraft • Operation of CBB on nationally registered aircraft • Over-flying the country’s airspace; • On the ground (at airport) within the country;

20. CBB Regulatory Authorization Activities • CBB has obtained regulatory authorizations for the service from several Administrations globally, including the following from the Arab Region: • Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Oman, Sudan, Tunisia, UAE • Other authorizations are at an advanced stage of being granted in the coming weeks; • European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) adopted a Harmonised Standard for 14 GHz Aircraft Earth Stations - EN 302 186; • CEPT is developing a new Decision relating to granting licence exemption to Aircraft Earth Stations that comply with EN 302 186
