Abstract :
There is a global coordinated move for Digital Switchover (DSO) by discontinuing analogue TV transmission. In India the frequency band 470-806 MHz has been allotted to Fixed, mobile broadcasting services on primary basis and 698-806 MHz more specific 700MHz band mainly used by TV broadcast services. This Digital Dividend offers real opportunities for wireless innovation. We discuss the scope and nature of opportunities for white space created by Digital Dividend (700 MHz band) in India.
