Denmark to free digital dividend for mobile

Danish Minister of Culture, Carina Christensen, and Helge Sander, Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation, said the government will allocate spectrum in the 790-862MHz band to mobile broadband operators following completion of the digital TV switchover in Denmark scheduled for 1 November 2009.
Denmark joins the likes of the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Finland, Switzerland and Sweden in allocating some of the spectrum for mobile broadband services. The country was involved in a meeting with other Baltic states earlier this month, which aimed to establish a unified approach to the allocation of digital dividend spectrum in the region. Government delegations from Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Sweden were also involved in the talks, which were hosted by the Finnish Ministry of Communications in Helsinki.
