French Parliament Urges More Spectrum for Mobile Broadband
France is pondering reserving part of the digital dividend—the spectrum that will be freed up once the analogue TV signal is switched off. In a report submitted to French Prime Minister François Fillon, a French parliamentary commission recommended that the 790 MHz–862 MHz sub-band be dedicated to electronic communication in order to boost take-up of mobile and fixed broadband services.
Significance: The French call is in line with the general trend across Europe to use part of the digital dividend for broadband services. In the United Kingdom, the regulator has already outlined plans to auction off part of the digital dividend spectrum.
