Another perspective on Ofcom’s Digital Dividend Review…

We received the following comment from the British Entertainment Industry Radio Group:

“Another major impact of the digital switchover is threatened loss of interleaved spectrum (an certainly the loss of useful spectrum co-ordination through the JFMG) for PMSE (Programme Makiing and Special Events) use. So - loads of bandwidth for new channels, but no radio mics, IEMs, radio comms, stereo links to make content with. Not very joined up, if you ask me…Sorry for the soapbox act, but there’s a real problem of awareness (the BBC only cottoned on recently after a doom-laden presentation by the JFMG), and the issue needs to travel beyond a small circle of RF geeks to make any progress.
