Next WRC Still On Track to Start in Nov. 2023: ITU

The next World Radiocommunication Conference is still on for Nov. 20-Dec. 15, 2023, the ITU confirmed Monday “following a consultation with the ITU Member States around the world.” The location will be either Abu Dhabi or Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. “The COVID-19 pandemic has proven the essential nature of digital technologies and services," said ITU Secretary-General Houlin Zhao: “Yet challenges persist in efforts to connect the other half of the world's population by 2030. ITU Member States will use WRC-23 to pave the way for new, more innovative ways to connect the world using both terrestrial and space-based communication technologies."
