Spectrum allocation is an issue that has focused the attention of regulators since the ascendance of radio in the early 1900s. Bands of spectrum exist in layers, and it is the role of regulators to allocate its frequency so technologies can operate without interference from others.

ictQATAR is developing a National Frequency Allocation Plan to determine the process for companies, organizations, government, and military to obtain frequency. ictQATAR must also plan the frequency allocation for new and not-yet-developed technologies.
