The Bahamas' delegation to the World Radio Communication Conference 2015 (WRC-15) met with Bahamas Ambassador to the United Nations' Office in Geneva H.E. Rhoda M. Jackson, as a way of introduction, for the purpose of exploring opportunities where the Permanent Mission can assist the Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority (URCA) in advancing its work in the International Telecommunication Union located in Geneva, Switzerland.

The delegation, headed by Mr. Randol Dorsett, Chairman of URCA's Board, participated in WRC-15 held by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) in Geneva from 2 to 27 November. The Conference is revising the Radio Regulations, the international treaty governing the use of the radio-frequency spectrum, inter alia. The conference's work has been focused on issues of global interest, such as climate change monitoring, public protection and disaster relief communications, mobile broadband services, safety and distress communication systems for maritime and aeronautical service and global flight-tracking for civil aviation, following international concern due to the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH 370 in 2014.
