Abstract

The issue of radio frequency in outer space is a very pertinent one, due to the plethora of satellites operating and about to operate in the outer space. Thus, the possibility of interference of this form is getting higher by the day. ITU regulations and International law may be sought recourse to in such matters. This article address this issue based on three aspects in the legal regime on frequency interference, viz., (a) the governing legal framework; (b) the challenges in current legal regime; (c) the proposed solutions and promotions to current legal regime.
