broadcasting-satellite satellite service in the indicated bands; to establish procedures to govern the use of these bands by the broadcastingsatellite service and by the other services to which the bands have been allocated, and to consider expert studies relating to the possible re-arrangement of the existing Radio Regulations and the Additional Radio Regulations. Although the 1977 Conference has been characterized by "planifica- tion" for the sharing of radio frequencies in an essentially limited frequency area, nonetheless the ITU engaged in procedures to "govern the use" of the identified bands It bears repeating that the Conference considered that the 1979 WARC "should be asked to incorporate these Final Acts as an integral part of the Radio Regulations."^ Moreover, "when the final Acts are incorporated in the Radio Regulations, they will be binding on all Members, on the same footing as the Telecommunication Convention to which the Radio Regulations are annexed." The 1977 Conference accepted as principles a number of propositions that have been previously identified with ITU Conventions and prior Radio Regulations. Among these are: the equitable, effective, and economical use of the linked orbit-spectrum, the equal rights of all countries, the view that the geostationary satellite orbit and the radio frequency spectrum are limited natural resources, no permanent priority for a nation-state to be obtained by the registration with the ITU of Final Acts, Preamble, p. 1 U.N.
