(3) Spectrum in the 470-790 MHz frequency band is a valuable asset for the cost-efficient deployment of wireless networks with universal indoor and outdoor coverage. This spectrum is currently used across the Union for digital terrestrial television (DTT) and wireless audio PMSE equipment. It supports the development of the media, creative and cultural sectors, which extensively rely on this spectrum resource for the wireless provision of content to mass audiences. It is essential out of security considerations that non-proprietary transmission media such as DTT and broadcasting should remain available in the future, since, in the event of a cyber-attack, restrictions on or breaks in internet-based communications in the EU cannot be ruled out. Accordingly, it should also be ensured that non-proprietary systems can be received on mobile terminals.

(6) Spectrum sharing within a common frequency band between bidirectional wireless broadband use (uplink and downlink), on the one hand, and unidirectional television broadcasting or wireless audio PMSE use, on the other hand, is technically problematic. This means that repurposing the 700 MHz frequency band for bidirectional terrestrial wireless broadband electronic communications services would deprive DTT and wireless audio PMSE users of part of their spectrum resources. The DTT and PMSE sectors therefore need long- term regulatory predictability on the availability of sufficient spectrum, so that they can safeguard the sustainable provision and development of their services, in particular free-to-view television. Measures may be needed at national andmber States in which, as a result of this Regulation or subsequent Union -level to ensure additional spectrum resourcemeasures, there is a marked increase in costs for wfireless audioms in the PMSE use outside the 470-790 MHz frequency bandctor, should take additional action so that an appropriate number of frequencies are usable by those firms.

Article 6 – paragraph 1
Article 6 – paragraph 1
By 1 January 2025, the Commission, in cooperation with the Member States, shall carry out an assessment and report to the Council and Parliament on developments in the use of the 470-694 MHz frequency band, taking into account the social, economic, cultural and technological aspects affecting the use of the band pursuant to Articles 1 and 4. The report shall assess, including with regard to security, whether it is necessary and appropriate to change the use of the 470- 694 MHz frequency band, or any part of it, in the Union.
