8 Which were our targets for 2014 All issues related to the 700 MHz band and active participation in relevant meetings, consultations, etc. with Administrations, the Commission, the European Parliament, CEPT and ITU. Co-existence and interference issues between DTT and Mobile Broadband (MBB). Co-existence and interference issues between DTT and White Space Devices (WSDs). To avoid MHz becoming co-primary Broadcasting and IMT at WRC 2015 in Region 1 and avoid the risk that investment incentives may be lost. Certainty of UHF spectrum access well beyond A sensible output document from the HLG. Liaise with Region 1 stakeholders in Africa, Middle East and beyond to gain additional support for retaining UHF for Broadcasting. Active engagement with administrations. Closer coordination with EBU. The role of linear content in Europe. Is there a Low Tower Network configuration or a High Tower LTE alternative in the long term? To ensure that the Single Market Proposal does not result in disruptive regulatory outcomes that would be to the detriment of terrestrial broadcasting. Communication and lobbying around the above topics BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 8 {Format 16:10}

9 In addition responses to a number of Public Consultations BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 9 {Format 16:10}

10 BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 10 {Format 16:10} The Spectrum Battle

11 It s about telecom policy, money (lots of), job creation, BNP growth, the European audiovisual model and who will use radio spectrum for what BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 11 {Format 16:10}

12 Some of the issues The Spectrum Context BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 12 {Format 16:10}

16 What is the future after 700 MHz Are there motives to give away more spectrum BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 16 {Format 16:10}

17 Newsletter clip OFCOM no longer supports earlier projections and says that it is necessary to go back to the drawing board before more spectrum is removed from other users and that data demand may be overestimated by a factor of 1000 (!) Other analysts come to similar conclusions and challenge the models used by the ITU and the mobile sector BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 17 {Format 16:10}

18 The Aetha report value of spectrum to mobile Our results show that even in the most aggressive mobile traffic forecast, the costs of clearing DTT from the spectrum (EUR38.5bn) significantly outweigh the potential value of using the spectrum for mobile (EUR10.3bn) by a factor of almost four. When a less aggressive traffic forecast is used, the costs of clearing DTT are unchanged but the value of using the spectrum for mobile would be near to zero BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 18 {Format 16:10}

19 Data traffic generated by ONE DTT Standard Definition TV Channel Data traffic comparison DTT networks vs. Cisco Mobile Traffic Forecast Data Traffic Consumed 2013 from DTT Networks for ONE standard Definition Television channel across EU28. 16,2 EB/month 18 Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast ExaByte/month (1E+18) By region Cisco VNI Mobile 100 million households 4 hours per day.

37 Before Lamy and Now Starting point for GSMA was to start closing DTT by 2017 and clear all DTT spectrum for mobile broadband by 2020 Now The Lamy report and the RSPG (Radio Spectrum Policy Group) concludes that DTT is important for the foreseeable future which is 2030 and beyond. Aetha Report: No economic case to give sub 700 MHz spectrum to mobile EC Convergence Study: No case for converged DTT Mobile networks A European Common Proposal (ECP) is underway to the WRC-15 with no co-primary allocation for the mobile service at the WRC BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 37 {Format 16:10}

42 700 MHz transition - key aspects to be considered From the transition roadmap in the Lamy report: International frequency coordination (including broadcast transmissions, PMSE, local and community services, etc.) Planning and preparations including funding Management and coordination of activities Communications Technical activities including network changes Support to trade stakeholders User support BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 42 {Format 16:10}

44 DTT is a Great European Success Story DTT is now launched in nearly all EU member states. DTT networks now serves some 2000 TV channels, about 50% of European households with 250 million viewers, each spending some 4 hours watching linear TV every day. In addition, secondary TVs rely on DTT. More than 1 billion TV receivers with integrated DTT tuners are now in use around the world. Low cost for media delivery. Network cost is typically between per household per month for up to 60 channels distributed 24/7. Per channel distribution cost can be as low as 1c per household per month. Very easy access for consumers and no cost at point of consumption of a wide offering of free-to-air content. DTT is a key pillar for European content creation BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 44 {Format 16:10}

45 DTT and the Importance of Spectrum DTT depends on UHF spectrum for provision. Consumers and the Broadcasting Industry have made substantial efforts and investments in the Digital Switchover and in making the 800 MHz band available for other services than TV. Available spectrum for DTT is fully utilized in many countries. Migration to more efficient technologies for DTT is underway to meet demand for additional and higher higher bandwidth services, e.g. HD. The 700 MHz band represents 30% of currently available spectrum for DTT. Changed use will imply constraints for service delivery, require significant time to re-plan current usage and demand very significant investments. The additional discussion and the forthcoming decisions on the long term use of the whole UHF band may lead to a regulatory induced failure of DTT. This is not in the interest of the European Consumer BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 45 {Format 16:10}

46 BNE Studies and Seminars DTT Value Study (Deloitte) HTLT Network Topologies (Progira) Interference calculations EBU, DigiTAG, BNE Future use of the MHz band (Aetha) Connected TV (London) Digital Radio (Stockholm) Connected TV (Barcelona) B2M (Paris) LTE Training Course (Stockholm) Strategy (Brussels. Barcelona ) High Tower-Low Tower Network Topologies (Stockholm) High Tower Low Tower Network Topologies Workshop in Stockholm BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 46 {Format 16:10}

47 BNE Work Program 2015 Main Objectives To avoid a co-primary allocation for the MHz frequency band at the WRC 15 in November. To secure that DTT is granted long term access to spectrum in the next EU Radio Spectrum Policy Program (RSPP) Make DTT recognized as a part of the new Commission s EU Digital Agenda to underpin growth of the EU economies. To ensure that the transition roadmap as defined by the Lamy report and agreed within the High Level Group should be adopted by the European Commission. Maintain momentum and BNE s financial viability by enlarging Membership and fine tuning the working group missions in accordance with the objectives and a mind-set of conquest. Develop the Wider Spectrum Group (WSG) to support the importance of DTT for the European content industry BNE GA 2015 /LB, Page 47 {Format 16:10}
