Explanation / Answer

1.

2.

When using GPS we are using two frequencies - 1575.42 MHz  and a second at 1227.60 MHz both belongs to UHF (Ultra high frequency) frequency band

3.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)

4.

ITU-T (Telecommunication Standardization Sector of the International Telecommunications). It is located in Geneva, Switzerland.

Lower frequency band are advantageous over higher frequency band with respect to penetration power. Lower frequency band have better penetration, meaning they pass through objects such as walls with less tempering.

The other reason is with respect to distance covered by these bands.Higher frequency bands will travel lesser distance than signals sent on a lower frequency band because of thier wavelengths. Higher you go on the frequency band, the lower will be the wavelength.

Band Name Abbreviation Frequency Very low frequency VLF 3–30 kHz low frequency LF 30–300 kHz medium frequency MF 300–3,000 kHz high frequency HF 3–30 MHz Very high frequency VHF 30–300 MHz Ultra high frequency UHF 300–3,000 MHz Super high frequency SHF 3–30 GHz Extremely high frequency EHF 30–300 GHz
