The European Commission has a clear problem in promoting the idea of a common market in the field of radio spectrum. Fails to find a compromise or to the interests of market players, or state particularism. Announcing the consultation on the 470-790MHz band, clearly an attempt was widening the field of debate, encouraging the participation of service users. Were used also published a few months so. Lamiego report, which, among others, shows that the bands shared by different technologies will be more difficult with increasing their productivity, but whether technology should be selected administratively?
Digital technologies have changed the way the use of radio frequency spectrum, giving impressive benefits of higher quality, including also new services. We have obtained the attribute of mobility, allowing otherwise organize work, social relationships, travel, leisure, entertainment. One of the side effects of the dissemination of these attractive radio techniques have, however, inevitably be differences of views on the development of radio spectrum in the frequency bands, released after turning off the older tech systems.

As expected, most of the problems have a chance to make a new band after extensive development liquidated some time ago analog TV transmitters networks. It is no accident that the band was called the dividend, to borrow a term from the language describing the mechanisms for the distribution of profit on the capital market. After all, fighting competition in auctions and tenders Maria Peszek in recent years the value of certain radio bands to very high levels.
In this case, however, for it comes to politics, and that can not be resolved in a contest in which the winner is who will pay more. The point is not about who will use the band, but the band will be used, what the objectives of social, political, market or economic serve. Disputes emotions involved not only the participants in the media and telecommunications, but also politicians. Almost everything about the spectrum must be resolved in international fora, which move all kinds of stalking each other spectrum users.
The basic traditional dividing line concerns the interests of broadcasters and interests of telecommunications companies. We know that it is culturally different worlds, which use a different language, worldview and business models, in addition differently regulated, although not everywhere and not always so. Almost certainly it is not always the case.
