The ITU operates on the basis that the radio frequency spectrum is a limited world resource, places the radio broadcast facility on the space object in geostationary orbit, and links the limitedness of the radio spectrum to the asserted limitedness of parking slots for geostationary space objects. Attention will next be given to the issue whether the orbital slot suited to radio broadcasts is in fact a 1imited natural resource, in the sense of imposing large constraints upon the effective use of radio broadcasts emanating from space objects in geostationary orbit, and, if so, the nature or extent of such limitations. Political and legal considerations will affect the use of any resource whether plentiful or limited.
