News in brief: TV spectrum to make room for wireless broadband
Published: 30 October 2009 17:15 GMT
The European Commission has called for EU members to speed their switchover to digital television, and therefore in the process free up spectrum, which can then be used for broadband services.
Viviane Reding, information society and media commissioner for the EC, said she wants EU countries to have made the move by 2012.
The plans to reserve spectrum for wireless broadband were first announced by the Commission in 2007.
