In light of increased demand for spectrum across all sectors and wireless applications, and considering international practices in a number of countries that have an independent national law for spectrum, the Communications, Space and Technology Commission ("CST") proposed the adoption of a single law to govern spectrum under the name (National Radio Spectrum Law) to regulate the uses of spectrum in the Kingdom for all military, civil and commercial purposes.
The purpose of this consultation is to gather stakeholder feedback on the National Radio Spectrum Law to enable the effective management of radio spectrum and its utilization in a manner that preserves this limited resource for all national sectors (military, security, space, maritime, aviation, media, meteorology, and others).
