Future (1) The components of GMDSS system described in this part of plan will remain in the maritime mobile service as part of distress and safety communication. (2) The intensity of use of these frequencies for voice communication in the maritime mobile service is slowly decreasing. (3) The improvement of conditions for introduction and development of new digital technologies in the maritime mobile service, among others for this service in these bands by the arrangement of channels is the topic of consideration in the frame of WRC-12 agenda item 1.9.
