-Issues in Spectrum Allocation-

The spectrum of the telecommunications industry spans through a range of electromagnetic radiation frequencies, which are used in wireless communication systems: problems reside then in how they’re able to make services even better, to improve upon the system that already is in place.  This is due in large part to mobile communications using far less powerful transmitters when compared to those of broadcasters on the radio. 
Wireless communications used to be the center of the telecommunications network, carrying excess quantities of calls amongst cities instead of communicating directly from person to person: the development of microwave systems would then allow services to carry over thousands of calls simultaneously, but one problem to this was the system used directional antennas which made it impossible to extend their networks up to certain spans.  To rectify this limitation, it led to the development of fiber optic integrated systems, and soon after led to the rise of satellite technology and cell phone systems.  Even with all the advances and developments in technology and systems, they all faced the same constricting limitation of channel space.  To this very day, technicians are still trying to upgrade and develop even more communications systems, in the hopes of finally escaping those restraints.
