Furthermore, a number of countries, including France, believe that mobile allocation in the 700 MHz band will crowd broadcasting out into a narrower band. <u>This is not an option<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>Following two &#8216;digital dividends&#8217;, France and Europe have secured stable access to 470-694 MHz for terrestrial TV (DTT). French law 86-067 of 30 September 1986 has confirmed the attribution of this band of frequencies to ARCOM at least until 31 December 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise in the EU, with Article 4 of Decision 2017\/899. In France as in Europe, the executive branches are committed to take stock of the situation in 2025 and report to the relevant Parliaments.<\/p>\n<p>In France, DTT is used by 46.3% of TV households, and is the only access to TV for 21.2% of them. We understand that other countries may have a different experience, but <u>free choice<\/u> regarding how to allocate this band of spectrum <u>is not a consideration<\/u>: experience in France, Italy and Spain has demonstrated all too well that it results in significant interference.<\/p>\n<p>The Radio Spectrum Policy Group will release a formal recommendation in June 2023. The French position in this respect is clear-cut: the band considered shall meet the needs of broadcasting as a priority. Other needs (security, defence among others) will be examined in light of how those of DTT will develop.<\/p>\n<p>The decision expected by WRC-23 shall not impact Europe&#8217;s plans and schedule regarding this issue, as per earlier decisions made by the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: March 2022 &#8211;\u00a0&#8221; L\u2019ANFR d\u00e9code la CMR-23 &#8211; Point 1.5 : une attribution mobile dans la bande audiovisuelle 470-694 MHz ? &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anfr.fr\/toutes-les-actualites\/actualites\/la-cmr-a-quoi-ca-sert-lanfr-decode-la-cmr-23-point-15-une-attribution-mobile-dans-la-bande-audiovisuelle-470-694-mhz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.anfr.fr\/toutes-les-actualites\/actualites\/la-cmr-a-quoi-ca-sert-lanfr-decode-la-cmr-23-point-15-une-attribution-mobile-dans-la-bande-audiovisuelle-470-694-mhz\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIn the run-up to WRC-23, with particular consideration to Item 1.5 and attendant Resolution 235, some member parties in the Middle-East have advocated that the 470-694 MHz band should be allocated to IMT with a co-primary statute along with broadcasting.
