Radiocommunications" accepts the proposition that nation-states should be enabled to establish the telecommunication links which they deem necessary. This view is based on the conclusion that "technology is steadily and rapidly evolving and that the best possible use should be made of resources in space radiocommunications."^ The rule of priority rights to frequencies is conditioned by the judgment that such frequencies must be used in the "most efficient manner possible consistent with developing technology and that such assignments are relinquished when no longer in use. The focus of this Recommendation was clearly on the efficient and economic use of radio frequencies. Thus, the ITU Administrative Council was invited to seek consideration by the next World Administrative Radio Conference of "all aspects of the use of the frequency band(s) concerned including, interalia, the relevant frequency assignments recorded in the Master International Frequency Register and to find a solution to the problem. However, the past practices of the IFRB have been such that the first national claim for the registration in the Board's Master Register of its assignment has established preferences if not rights within the context of the ITU governing process. When the Board receives a frequency assignment for registration that conforms to the frequency allotment plans of the ITU, such assignments are accorded "the highest level status UST 1527, 1839, TIAS 7435.
