(13) The 800 MHz band is optimal for the coverage of large areas by wireless broadband services. Building on the harmonisation of technical conditions under Decision 2010/267/EU, and on Commission Recommendation of 28 October 2009 calling for analogue broadcasting to be switched off by 1 January 2012, and given rapid national regulatory developments, this band should in principle be made available for electronic communications in the Union by 2013. In the longer term, additional spectrum below 790 MHz could also be envisaged, depending on experience and the lack of spectrum in other bands adequate for coverage. Considering the capacity of the 800 MHz band to transmit over large areas, coverage obligations should be attached to rights.

Article 6 – paragraph 4
4. Member States, in cooperation with the Commission, shall ensure that the provision of access to broadband content and services using the 790-862 MHz (800MHz) band is encouraged in sparsely populated areas, in particular through coverage obligations; in doing so, they shall examine ways and, where necessary, take appropriate measures to ensure that the freeing of the 800 MHz band does not adversely affect programme making and special events (PMSE) users. and that in the case of DTT channels currently using this band which have to be reallocated below 790 MHz, the costs incurred by broadcasters and users due to a simulcast period or to the adaptation of emission or reception equipment to the new channels is adequately compensated for.
