Digital dividend: 600 MHz band and geographic interleaved spectrum

  • Start: 18 February 2010
  • Status: Closed
  • End: 28 April 2010

The 600 MHz band and geographic interleaved spectrum are part of the UK's digital dividend that will be freed up for new uses with the switchover from analogue to digital terrestrial television (DTT) that is due to be completed in 2012. We are considering how to make the spectrum available in ways that best suit the needs of potential users, in order to maximise the total value to society they generate over time. We intend to publish proposals on this later in 2010.

This consultation aims to:

  • update stakeholders on spectrum availability, how developments have changed this and how technical considerations may affect spectrum use; and
  • seek stakeholders' input on potential uses of the spectrum and on their level of interest in acquiring it. This information will help us develop proposals on how best to make the spectrum available.
