MEPs from Germany are calling for cultural frequencies in the 470 – 694 MHz range for culture to be protected 1920 1120 SOS - Save our Spectrum

“There are good reasons to keep the cultural frequencies”, write six active members of the German Bundestag on the portal Netzpolitik about the frequencies between 470 and 694 MHz (UHF band):

“We have to prevent complete dependence on the mobile phone companies and social networks in the interests of diversity of opinion and a functioning democracy. Several independent systems are therefore better than a mobile phone monoculture: For culture and broadcasting, for the population and the state ”

This demand was signed by politicians Gustav Herzog, Member of the Bundestag (SPD, Social Democrats), Margit Stumpp, Member of the Bundestag (Greens), Anke Domscheit-Berg, Member of the Bundestag (Left), Doris Achelwilm, Member of the Bundestag (Left) , Thomas Hacker, Member of the Bundestag (FDP/Liberals) and Dr. Christian Jung, Member of the Bundestag (FDP/Liberals).

“In particular, the cultural industry and broadcasting fulfill indispensable tasks for society as a whole”.

Full approval of “SOS – Save Our Spectrum” for this great contribution by the six MPs!
