The Strategy of Allocation of Radio Frequencies for Broadcasting and Transmitting Radio and Television Programmes sets out general principles of the use of radio frequency resources (radio frequency spectrum) for broadcasting radio and television programmes as well as the criteria of allocation of those resources to broadcasters and transmitters to ensure that the above resources would be used for the benefit of the public in a more efficient manner. This Strategy covers terrestrial analogue, digital, wideband and microwave multi-channel television wavebands allocated in accordance with the national frequency allocation table for broadcasting and retransmitting radio and television programmes but it does not regulate broadcasting and retransmitting over cable television networks.
