Wed, 1 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.comreg.ie/about_us/update_on_the_digital_dividend_and_the_900_mhz_band_liberalisation_process.43.1049.whatsnew.html On Thursday 29 July 2010, the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources announced that analogue terrestrial television will be switched-off in the State in Quarter 4 of 2012. The switch-off of analogue TV services will release valuable radio spectrum that can be used for new and innovative electronic communications services and additional/enhanced television services. This freeing up of frequencies as a result of the switchover from analogue to digital terrestrial TV is commonly known as the “Digital Dividend.” ComReg has issued an Information Notice to provide an update to stakeholders on the expected availability and release of Digital Dividend spectrum and, in particular, the 800 MHz band. The information notice also outlines the next steps in relation to the 900 MHz liberalisation process.

Until now, it had not been possible for customers of 3 to make calls to Tesco Mobile customers. ComReg believes that consumers expect to be able to call any Irish network, irrespective of their choice of mobile or fixed line operator and this development removes a problem about which many consumers have complained to ComReg. This development will benefit the customers of both 3 and Tesco Mobile and will increase the level of choice available to all Irish consumers.
