Development of radio technologies will lead to a serious conflict between millimetre-wave astronomy and telecommunication services. I describe characteristics of millimetre-wave astronomy and technical aspects related to radio astronomical observations. Three examples of possible interference to millimetre-wave astronomy are described. It is very important to advertise what millimetre-wave astronomy contributes to human culture and to get support from the non-astronomical community to keep the radio windows open and clean.
