Statement on authorisation of the ICO-P system
Ofcom represents the UK Government in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and acts as the UK notifying administration under ITU procedures in relation to the international management of spectrum and orbit resources.
Following a review of the status of the deployment of the ICO-P mobile satellite system conducted over a three year period involving extensive consultation with ICO Global Communications (ICO), and having carefully considered the representations made by ICO, Ofcom has taken a decision that it will write to the ITU on 17 March to instruct that the ICO-P assignments currently recorded in the ITU Master Register be cancelled.
