The management of a scarce
resource as the spectrum is a worry for national administrators. The
right use, the interferences and the economic value for the society
are important issues for the countries.
In the Americas, the need for
training is a fundamental aspect so as to increase the number of
experts in the countries. With this objective in mind CITEL and the ITU
offered a distance learning course of five weeks from April 19 to May
22. In this course participated persons from Argentina,
Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, México, Nicaragua,
Paraguay, Peru, Republica Dominicana, Uruguay y Venezuela,
a total
of thirteen countries.
The exchange of information among participants was
an important aspect of this course that had more than one thousand
e-mails exchanged during the five weeks. CITEL support and
fellowships, the ITU preparation and the technical and personal
support of the Center of Excellence were fundamental for the success
of the course.
CITEL offers fellowships for the
second session of the distance learning course on spectrum management
with emphasis in space aspects that will be held September 6 to
October 8, 2004. Please find following the program of the course.
