World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) is organized by ITU to review, and, as necessary, revise the Radio Regulations, the international treaty governing the use of the radio-frequency spectrum and the geostationary-satellite and non-geostationary-satellite orbits. It is held every three to four years. Prior to 1993 it was called the World administrative radio conference WARC; in 1992 at a Additional Plenipotentiary Conference in Geneva the ITU was restructured and later conferences became the WRC.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or conference:
“The loneliest feeling in the world is when you think you are leading the parade and turn to find that no one is following you. No president who badly misguesses public opinion will last very long.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“The peace conference must not adjourn without the establishment of some ordered system of international government, backed by power enough to give authority to its decrees. ... Unless a league something like this results at our peace conference, we shall merely drop back into armed hostility and international anarchy. The war will have been fought in vain ...”
—Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve (1877–1965)
