The draft suggests that countries refer to the recommendation in following through on a WRC-07 resolution on spectrum management guidelines for emergency and disaster relief communications. Any of about a dozen other GHz frequencies could be used depending on the country, it said.

About 390 networks use the frequencies, the draft said, and other bands may be used in the future.
