the fixed service (see Resolutions 75 (WRC–2000) and 79 (WRC–2000)).
Administrations should take this into account when considering regulatory
provisions in relation to these bands. Because of the potential deployment
of high-density applications in the fixed-satellite service in the bands
39.5–40 GHz and 40.5–42 GHz (see No. 5.516B), administrations should further
take into account potential constraints to high-density applications in the
