in further detail. The Conference was able to plan frequency assignments for the broadcasting-satellite service for Regions 1 and 3, but was not able to arrive at a plan for Region 2 consisting of the Americas. For Region 2 it was considered that the technical bases for sharing conditions between the broadcasting satellite service and the fixed-satellite service, e.g., telecommunication satellites, were in need of further delineations. It was determined for both of these services that planning could best be accomplished through the convening of a Regional Conference to meet no later than 1982. According to Butler "The results of that proposed Regional Conference will necessarily conform to the principles of the 1977 Conference and the Radio Regulations." The preparatory work for the Conference, the negotiations, and the "Plan" put forward in the Final Acts were heavily influenced by the terms of Article 33 of the 1973 ITU Convention. The 1977 Conference was convened to plan the equitable, effective, and economical use of the broadcasting-satellite service in frequency bands 11.7 - 12.2 GHz (in Regions 2 and 3) and 11.7 - 12.5 GHz (in Region 1). Its charge was to establish the sharing criteria for the identified bands between the broadcasting-satellite service and the other services to which these bands are allocated, to plan for the U.N. Doc. A/AC.105/213, pp. 27-28. "E.i.r.p." is equivalent isotropically radiated power. It is the product of the power of an emission as supplied to an antenna gain in a given direction relative to an isotropic antenna. Butler, op. cit., p. 95. c r Supra, p. 6.
