Government and UTECA agree to maintain their current occupation of the spectrum

El acuerdo que UTECA ha cerrado con el Gobierno establece las bases para que la televisión privada “afronte en las mejores condiciones el proceso de liberación del dividendo digital”.

El verdadero quebradero de cabeza que está suponiendo el reparto del dividendo digital parece tocar a su fin. La patronal de las televisiones comerciales en España (UTECA) y el Gobierno han alcanzado un acuerdo para desbloquear este proceso que pone en marcha la Unión Europea para aprovechar las ventajas de la telefonía móvil de cuarta generación.

UTECA recibió hace una semanas una propuesta de la Secretaría de Estado de Telecomunicaciones y para la Sociedad de la Información en relación a la reordenación del espectro radioeléctrico motivada por la necesidad de liberar la banda de frecuencias del dividendo digital.

Esta propuesta que desde UTECA se veía sólo como un paso más dentro del proceso de conversaciones que desde hace tiempo mantienen las privadas con la Secretaría de Estado y otros agentes involucrados parece haber llegado finalmente a buen puerto.

El acuerdo que UTECA ha cerrado con el Gobierno establece las bases para que la televisión privada “afronte en las mejores condiciones el proceso de liberación del dividendo digital”.

From UTECA they consider that "this agreement has been inspired by the principles of effectiveness and economic efficiency, in a context of budgetary austerity and the promotion of technological development as a source of wealth and growth through the maximum use of the radio spectrum. This reduces the number of multiples assigned to private television operators from six to five."

This agreement would maintain the current offer of national private television programs (24 channels) using the spectrum more efficiently.

The agreement will mean less inconvenience to citizens regarding antennaization, considerably reducing costs. It will also mean advancing the development of 4G mobile telephony to January 2014, favoring investment and innovation.

Likewise, the risk of the process for television service providers is reduced, minimizing channel changes as much as possible, and maximizing the antennaization of each multiplex that is planned, according to UTECA.

It must be remembered that initially, the Government had proposed to the sector a reduction of up to half of the bandwidth currently available, a measure that was flatly rejected by private companies.
