One of the primary responsibilities of CCK is management of the country’s scarce resources, namely radio frequency spectrum and numbering resources.  Management of frequencies is the overall process of regulating and administering access to and use of the radio frequency spectrum.

This mandate involves planning and assignment of spectrum to various radiocommunications services and users.  The services that require frequency licences from CCK include TV and FM radio broadcasting, cellular mobile telecommunications, satellite communications, aeronautical and maritime radio services as well as emergency and disaster communication services.  

In addition, CCK manages the radio frequency resource through inspection and monitoring to ensure that assigned spectrum is used in accordance with the licence terms and condition as well as the prevailing law.  

CCK also carries out national coordination to ensure harmonious sharing of frequencies by various users and services. It also performs international and regional frequency coordination to avoid harmful interference of frequency users in different administrations.
