Beyond switchover

Ofcom has announced that following TV switchover, Digital UK will deliver a government project paving the way for the next generation of mobile services.

The project, starting in late 2012 and continuing through 2013, will see some of the airwaves currently used for Freeview TV signals released for 4G mobile broadband. Viewers in the areas concerned will need to retune their digital televisions and set top boxes to pick up TV channels on their new frequencies. Digital UK will co-ordinate the changes, including the provision of public information.
