In this range, many frequencies are allocated to other services. VGOS provides up to four 1 GHz wide sub-bands, which can be tuned to frequencies where detrimental radio frequency interference is absent. The increasing demand of commercial users of radio spectrum and related on-going telecommunication projects are threatening the VGOS observation plans. The examples of a compatibility study for 5G concerning the German Wettzell site and the global availability of Starlink/OneWeb illustrate the impact on VGOS and the need of regulation by spectrum authorities. This article contains a brief introduction how spectrum management is organized and what needs to be done on the national level to achieve protection for VGOS sites.ELETTRONICOenConference paperhttps://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/publications/gm2018/08_tornatore_etal.pdfhttps://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/publications/gm2018/IVS-2018-General-Meeting-Proceedings.pdf2019ivs..conf...32TFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation::PE9_17 Instrumentation – telescopes, detectors and techniques
