The European Commission has launched a consultation into the long-term future of the UHF band. It follows last year’s report led by Pascal Lamy and will also take into consideration input from the Radio Spectrum Policy Group and the Commission’s own studies.
The High Level Group chaired by former European Commissioner and WTO Director General Pascal Lamy looked at future use of the UHF spectrum band between 470 to 790MHz. It said: “the EU should adopt a common position against the co-primary allocation of the core audiovisual band (470-694MHz) to the mobile service at WRC 2015”.
Views of the mobile and broadcasting community are being sought, including programme makers, as well as academics and members of the public.
