The minister Mrs Minette LIBOM LI LIKENG therefore in her key address reiterated the importance of the rational, equitable, efficient and economic use of the radio frequency spectrum by all radiocommunication services which is an issue of high interest not just for the Cameroon government, but for the entire country.
What can be done to stop this danger of? To avoid the dangers which can emanate from the poor use of frequencies, journalists and radio promoters should register with the Telecommunication Regulatory Agency (ART) to get legal authority that permits them to emit and to get an authorized frequency range.
During the closing ceremony The Technical Adviser N°2, Dr Winfred Mfuh clearly demonstrated a picture of the damage a poor use of frequency can cause to the users using cars as an example. He also outlined that if frequencies are poorly used and managed, nothing will be heard and all that will be left is noise.
