The concept
of sharing a same frequency/ spectrum can be adopted for the growth of
Community Radio sector in developing countries. For example, in India only
three frequencies are available for community radio. A considerable number of
applications have been rejected in the country because of non-availability of
frequency. Sharing of spectrum will not only help in utilizing the natural
resources properly, but also in making the stations financially sustainable. Community
Broadcasting Law Uruguay and Argentina allow equitable sharing of the airwaves
for Community Broadcasting sector.
The sharing
can be possible in two ways- i) Use of the same infrastructure for two or more
community radio stations and ii) In the license it should be mentioned the time
sharing for two or more stations having the same frequency in a particular
place.
