The broadband services have fundamentally changed the utilization of the telecommunication network. First, the transmission is present on the network at all times (i.e., 'always-on'). Second, the transmission frequency range employed by broadband is much greater than that of previous access systems. Hence, the risk of interference with radio services has increased. In the event of interference, the share of responsibility between the network operator and the national responsible body, as well as the levels of the radiated field are not clearly defined. Recommendation ITU-T K.60 proposes a measurement method and target levels to guide administrations in case of interference with radio services. In addition, a methodology for solving the interference is discussed, and under what circumstances the case has to be forwarded to the national responsible body.
