The latest research reports reveal that the a part of the radio spectrum allocated for analogue television can be utilised for boosting the mobile broadband capacity in Europe to a considerable extent.

It sounds like a “Win-Win” approach. At present, most of us makes use of digital technologies to enjoy television programmes. Hence re-formatting the analogue television spectrum may not affect us by any means.

Pyramid research points out that the mobile broadband services in UK, Finland, Switzerland, etc. can be improvised greatly if the 900MHz spectrum (the radio spectrum  for analogue tv signals) is used.

The complete digital switch over in television industry is expected over next few years. Hence this “spectrum re-farming” will reap faster download speeds along with the better use of VoIP solutions in the mobile broadband industry.

This can solve the “frequency spectrum war” going on in the UK there by hastening the “internet to all” concept by Lord Carter.
