The Spectrum Is Not Enough
No, this article is not about a new James Bond movie (see “The World Is Not Enough”) protecting the world from the takeover of all spectrum resources by an evil dictator, or a terrorist organization, or one power-crazed tycoon.
The Transition to Digital Terrestrial TV Broadcasting
The world is moving from analog to digital broadcasting in order to exploit the latter’s advantages in terms of capacity (spectrum efficiency) and the quality and capabilities (technical, not content) of the audio and video services that can be delivered in digital format. Furthermore part of the UHF band used by many analog TV channels can then be freed for use by mobile services as agreed at the WRC-07 (World Radiocommunication Conference), at a time when the need for additional bandwidth for mobile services is becoming urgent.
Lessons from the Kindergarten and Unpaired Spectrum
Some readers may remember (I do) being exhorted at kindergarten to share toys with our fellow tots. This urging is part of the process of socializing very young children so as to make them aware of the obligations and impact of all humans with respect to others, and the benefits (and sometimes necessity) of collaboration as well as competition. (A lesson that seems to have been left out of the experiences of, or erased from their memories by the leaders of Wall Street, but that’s another story).
About BMI-T Navigator
BMI-T Navigator is designed to provide objective, independent perspectives and judgments for business executives, investors, regulators and public policy makers, as well as ICT users on the alternative paths they may choose to follow and the ways in which they may best allocate finite resources. We recognize that uncertainty about the future is the only certainty. Undoubtedly some of what we present will not meet with agreement and will turn out to be wrong as events unfold.
Nevertheless by following the principle of objectivity and by being explicit about how we arrive at the findings and opinions we express, as well as prepared to revise or even reverse our opinions in light of new evidence, we will strive to clarify the essence of often multifaceted and controversial issues without fear or favour.
