Digital Dividend
ƒ The digital dividend is the amount
of spectrum made available by the
transition of analogue television to
digital.
ƒ The digital dividend represents
very significant amounts of
spectrum.

Use of Digital Dividend
ƒ Broadcasting services
¾provision of more programs, high
definition, 3D or mobile television)
ƒ Other services, such as the mobile
service,
¾in a frequency band which could be
shared with broadcasting (e.g. short
range devices) or
¾in a distinct, harmonized allocation
(e.g. IMT).
