Spectrum use for mobile communications instead of television broadcasting? : The Dutch case

Abstract

Both mobile communications and television broadcasting are asking for more and more frequency space. By switching television from air to cable the congestion in the radio spectrum could be decreased and resources could become available to stimulate the lucrative market for mobile communications. Inspired by Professor Negroponte and a penetration rate for CATV of 92% in the Netherlands, research was initiated to indicate the possibilities and limitations of using alternative infrastructure instead of terrestrial television broadcasting. Is the development of mobile markets really dependent on the release of more radio spectrum, and what is the gain of a switch when the danger of interference with television channels of neighbouring countries remains?
