Region boundaries

What part of East Asia is in region 2? According to this map it looks like it is all in region 3, including Philippines and Japan. --Blainster 20:36, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

None of East Asia is in Region 2. Except for Russia and Mongolia, which are Region 1, all of the eastern Asian continent is in Region 3. The Philippines and Japan are also in Region 3. This article had many errors in it before I commented. I removed all the mistakes I could find. --65.188.161.98 05:12, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why have regions at all ?

Why not have the same frequency allocations in all three regions ? Surely these differences cause difficulties with

  • 1) Importation of equipment between different regions
  • 2) Interference problems on shortwave/high frequency radio signals which span regional boundries
  • 3) Localised interference problems on ALL frequency ranges along the boundary between regions 1 and 3
  • 4) Difficulties with communications equipment on board ships and aircraft travelling between regions

The whole point of the ITU surely is to harmonise radio spectrum usage standards around the world. Breaking the world into three arbitary "regions" surely flies in the face of this ? 80.229.222.48 10:33, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It had something to do with military use. Europe and America were made separate. In the event of World War III, civilian stuff would get eliminated. The distinct frequency allocations would allow allies to avoid interfering with each other -- considered more important than being able to easily communicate.

Much more likely it's because habits and traditions in the early age of radio (1920s, 1930s), developed separately on different continents. Jaho (talk) 04:27, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Map has errors?

I think the map has some places incorrectly marked. French Polynesia is Region 3. Falkland Islands and the South Georgia Islands are Region 2. Yes? --ChrisRuvolo (t) 19:14, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
