Ofcom aim to clear Digital TV Services (Freeview) out of the 700 MHz band by May 2020
They say:
“We will continue to work to clear digital television services from the 700 MHz band in order to release this spectrum for mobile data. We will continue to administer a grant scheme to fund incremental costs broadcasters incur as a result of the infrastructure changes associated with 700 MHz clearance.
Our plan is to make the 700 MHz band available for mobile services by May 2020.”
“We will award spectrum bands as they are cleared and released. We will consider responses to our proposals for the award of the 700 MHz and 3.6-3.8 GHz spectrum bands. We will conclude with a decision on how to proceed with the award and set this out in a Statement, with a view to completing the award in early Summer 2020.”
The consultation closes February 25.
