Abstract: In September, 1946, representatives of China, France, the United Kingdom, the United States and the USSR met at Moscow to consider questions of telecommunications. Particular attention was given to proposed reorganization of the International Telecommunications Union in order to provide for an Administrative Council, a permanent Secretariat and a Central Frequency Registration Board. This revision was to be undertaken at the World Telecommunications Meeting, seheduled for July, 1947, at which time the Telecommunications Convention of Madrid (1932) would be amended to provide for the new structure. Matters relating to the improvement of the organization of radio communications and re-allocation of radio frequencies to maritime, aeronautical and long distance land services were considered, while attention was also directed to proposals for a new frequency allocation for various services. Organization of international telephone and telegraph communications and the proposed revision of telegraph and telephone regulations were studied. It was also agreed that a World High Frequency Broadcasting Conference Should be called in the fall of 1947 to assign frequencies to short-wave stations and that a World High Frequency Broadcasting Organization should be established in order to facilitate the interchange of short-wave broadcast programs between countries. The Conference further recommended that an Administrative Radiocommunications Conference be convened on May 15, 1947 and that a World Conference on telephone and telegraph communications be called in 1948.
