Breakthough on mobile services in digital dividend

A European regulators working group has agreed a deal on harmonising a UHF sub band for mobile, but how many countries will actually implement this and does the voluntary nature of the agreement limit its usefulness?

The agreement reached by the TG4 sub group of the European regulator's organisation, CEPT, is based on a French proposal to harmonise channels 62- 69: the upper part of the UHF band. TG4's finalised report sets out the principles under which the sub band could be implemented, with another study on the technical details to be completed for the group's next meeting in October. This further study will cover band plans, the location of the duplex centre gap and guard bands for FDD and TDD.
