Ofcom's new year sale...

Ofcom has released details of its plans to auction licences for the 'L-Band' of radio spectrum.
The 1,452MHz to 1,492MHz band is suitable for various mobile multimedia services, including mobile television, as well as services such as satellite digital radio and even WiMax wireless broadband.
The auction will take place online, starting in spring 2008. Ofcom said there will be 16 lots of approximately 1.7MHz each for spectrum from 1,452MHz to 1,479.5MHz. The remaining spectrum will be auctioned as a single lot.
The release of the L-Band is part of a wider programme to unleash around 400MHz of spectrum at frequencies below 3GHz - which includes the digital dividend, whereby spectrum will be freed-up by the switch to digital TV.
L-Band spectrum will be released on a technology and service neutral basis, said the regulator, and all licences will be tradable.
