RESOLUTION NUMBER 000964 OF 2019

"Whereby regulations relating to the management of the radio spectrum are issued"

THE MINISTER OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND COMMUNICATIONS

In the exercise of its legal powers and especially those foreseen in Law 1341 of 2009, Decrees 4169
of 2011, 1078 of 2015 and 1414 of 2017, and

CONSIDERING:

That the Political Constitution of Colombia, in its articles 75, 101 and 102, provides that the
electromagnetic spectrum is an unfeasible public good and imprescriptible subject to the
management and control of the State, which is part of Colombia and belongs to the Nation.

That, pursuant to Law 1341 of 2009, access to the use of the radioelectric spectrum requires prior,
express permission granted by the Ministry of Information and Communications Technologies
(MinTIC).

Also, in his articles 17 numeral 4 and 18 numeral 19 literal c. has that's purpose and function of
this entity, among others, define policies and practice management and administration of the
radio spectrum and issue regulations, conditions and requirements aimed at licensing, permits and
registrations for the use or exploitation of the rights of the State over the radio spectrum and the
services of the TIC sector.

That subsection 1 of article 2 of Decree 260 of 2004 establishes that the Special Administrative
Unit of Civil Aeronautics - Aerocivil is the authority in aeronautical matters throughout the national
territory and is responsible for regulate, administer, monitor and control the use of Colombian
airspace by civil aviation, as well as coordinate its relations with State aviation, developing policies,
strategies, plans, programs and projects on the subject, contributing to this way to maintenance of
national security and sovereignty.

That Decree 1078 of 2015, "Sole Regulatory Decree of the ICT sector" (hereinafter, "DUR-TIC"),
regulates in chapter 1 of title 2 of Part 2 of book 2, the objective selection and direct allocation of
permits for use of the radioelectric spectrum for continuity of the service referred to in Articles 11
and 72 of Law 1341 of 2009, and especially in its Article 2.2.2.1.2.4 exempts from the objective
selection procedure the granting of permits for the use of radio frequencies or channels that the
Ministry of Technologies and Communications deems necessary to reserve for the provision of
telecommunications networks and services for strategic purposes for the national defense,
attention and prevention of emergency situations and public safety, as well such as the granting of
temporary permits for the performance of technical tests and homologation of equipment.
And in turn, article 2.2.2.1.2.5 ibidem provides that the Ministry of Information and
Communications Technologies, at the request of a party, will assign call signs directly to stations
that do common and shared use of spectrum in bands allocated nationally and internationally,
among others, to maritime, aeronautical, satellite and radio amateur radiocommunications, in
accordance with the rules and procedures established for this purpose, use that entails the
payment of the aforementioned considerations in the administrative act that grants the
permission.

That through Decree 2434 of 2015 the title 14 was added in the part 2 of book 2 of the DUR-TIC to
create the National Telecommunications System is Emergency - SNTE, to contribute to achieving
the objectives of the National Disaster Risk Management System and to strengthen the efficient
performance of its components.

That MinTIC Resolution No. 2118 of September 15, 2011, as amended by Resolution MINTIC 1588
of 2012, provided the conditions, requirements and procedure for granting permits for the

use of radio spectrum, except for the frequency bands allocated or identified for the provision of
the services of International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT, for its acronym in English) and
radio broadcasting, in accordance with article 2.2.2.1.1.3 of Decree 1078 of 2015, in accordance
with the provisions of Judgment C-403 of 2010.

That, through Resolution 442 of 2013 and in compliance with Article 1 Of Decree Law 4169 of
2011, the National Spectrum Agency -ANE updated and adopted the National Table of Frequency
Band Allocation -CNABF, which was again updated through the ANE Resolutions number 14 of
2014 (Channeling Plans), 418 of 2014 (which included a Channeling Plan in 18 GHz), 441 of 2016,
450 of 2017 and 361 of 2018 (which updated the CNABF).

That the rationalization, simplification and updating of the legal system is one of the main tools to
ensure the economic and social efficiency of the legal system and to strengthen legal security.

That Resolution No. 000963 of April 30, 2019, repealed Resolutions 2472 of 1991, 407 of 1995,
5273 of 1997, 1512 of 2001, 152 of 2002, 1704 of 2002, 1966 of 2002, 526 of 2002, 908 of 2003,

2009, 909 of 2009, 1227 of 2009 and 1438 of 2010, issued by the Ministry of Information
Technologies and Communications, all pertaining to radio spectrum management.

That, because of the previous normative changes, it is necessary to issue a new legal framework
on radio spectrum management, whose competence lies with this Ministry.

That, to comply with the duty of information provided in the article 8th of Law 1437 of 2011, the
Ministry of Information Technologies and Communications published on its website the project
that led to this resolution, for comments from interested parties, during the period from January
