Harmonised technical conditions would ensure take-up of the 700 MHz frequency band for high-speed terrestrial wireless broadband electronic communications services and other uses in line with spectrum policy priorities at Union level; they would foster the single market, mitigate harmful interference and facilitate frequency coordination.

If cable—the cable TV that runs along the streets and into your house—isn't properly shielded, it in fact radiates radio interference, and where it is in the spectrum, it can interfere with aeronautical frequencies, and police and safety frequencies as well.

1. For the purposes of section 68.1 of the Copyright Act, “wireless transmission system” means a system operated by a terrestrial radio station that transmits in analog or digital mode a signal containing performers’ performances of musical works or sound recordings embodying the performers’ performances, in analog or digital form, whether in the A.M. or F.M. frequency band or in any other range assigned by the Minister under section 5 of the Radiocommunication Act, without artificial guide for free reception by the public.

(b) for the purpose of determining susceptibility to radiated interference, the register and ancillary equipment are scanned at a distance of 2 m with hand-held 4 W transceivers operating at frequencies of 27 MHz and 460 MHz.

Restrictions on the principle of technology neutrality should be appropriate and justified by the need to avoid harmful interference, for example by imposing emission masks and power levels, to ensure the protection of public health by limiting public exposure to electromagnetic fields, to ensure the proper functioning of services through an adequate level of technical quality of service, while not necessarily precluding the possibility of using more than one service in the same frequency band, to ensure proper sharing of spectrum, in particular where its use is only subject to general authorisations, to safeguard efficient use of spectr ...[+++]um, or to fulfil a general interest objective in conformity with Community law.

First, it supplies all of the essential services: the admission of goods and persons into Canada, protection of intellectual property and spectrum management, meteorological services, public health and safety, safety planning, sustainable development and tax issues.
