In a recent press release, the World Broadcasting Unions’ (WBU) reaffirmed their joint support to digital terrestrial television (DTT) after WRC-15: “The outcome of the last ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15) has been welcomed by regional broadcasting unions worldwide. The decision for a global No Change in the 470-694/698MHz band (with a few exceptions in Regions 2 and 3) ensures a harmonized use of the band for terrestrial broadcasting and creates favourable conditions for the continuous development of digital terrestrial television (DTT).”
The World Broadcasting Unions remind us that Broadcasters’ cooperation and coordination before and during WRC-15 was essential for securing continued access to the UHF spectrum for DTT. They also foresee that the continuing cooperation will enable broadcasters from all over the world to share their knowledge and best practice to establish and further develop DTT as an essential broadcasting platform for the foreseeable future.
