  • regulator has asked Arqiva to work out what it would charge someone to broadcast TV in the space
  • band isn't very valuable for anything else, as there's no international harmonisation
  • no economies of scale.
  • working out how much it would cost to broadcast a national TV multiplex
  • Ofcom wants to auction it off,
  • regulator can't do that until the upper part of the Digital Dividend is mapped out (if not auctioned off) and the potential value of the 600MHz band is well understood
  • provide indicative pricing in case anyone fancies launching some TV channels at 600MH
