The Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) invites you to attend a scheduled meeting of the Caribbean Spectrum Management Task Force via Zoom videoconferencing from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. eastern Caribbean time (UTC-4) on the 6^th and 7^th November 2025. 

Background 

Regional harmonisation of spectrum management policies and practices as well as relevant capacity building initiatives are being coordinated regionally by the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) through the work of the Spectrum Management Steering Committee (SMSC) and the multi-stakeholder Spectrum Management Task Force (SMTF). The harmonisation work continues to be guided by tenets of the Caribbean Spectrum Management Strategic Plan developed by these two groups, which seeks to achieve the following goals across the region: 

• Harmonisation of national frequency allocations and band plans, including common frequencies and international protocols for disaster management and emergency telecommunications 
• Minimisation of cross border interference 
• Establishment of common approaches to digital broadcasting switchover, TV white spaces regulation and spectrum pricing. 

In addition to focusing on these goals, the ongoing work of the SMTF and SMSC also creates and leverages capacity-building opportunities and addresses important current matters arising, such as regional preparations for ITU World Radiocommunication Conferences.
