A: There are parts of the spectrum bands that are not allocated to different services, but these are typically either reserved for future use or fall into what's known as the "unlicensed spectrum".

Unlicensed spectrum can be used by anyone without a specific license. The best-known example is the 2.4 GHz band used by technologies like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The use of these bands is still regulated to avoid interference, but they are available for new technologies and services.

One of the main things preventing new uses of the spectrum from causing interference is the regulatory framework. In the United States, for example, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) strictly regulates who can use which parts of the spectrum and for what. They also set rules about power levels and other technical parameters to minimize the chance of interference.

The process of obtaining a license to use a specific part of the spectrum can be complex and costly, which can be a barrier for new entrants. However, the FCC and other regulatory bodies around the world also periodically reallocate spectrum and auction off licenses, providing opportunities for new players to enter the market.

Furthermore, technological advancements are also helping to make more efficient use of the spectrum. Techniques like frequency hopping and spread spectrum are used to minimize interference and allow multiple devices to share the same part of the spectrum.

However, it's important to note that while technology and regulation can help prevent interference, they can't entirely eliminate the risk, especially if a new technology or service doesn't comply with the regulations. That's why regulatory compliance and careful engineering are so important in the telecommunications industry.
