(13) The 800 MHz band is optimalcan be used, for example, 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 2013as soon as feasible. In the longer term, additional spectrum below 790 MHz could also be envisaged, depending on experience and the lack of spectrum in othe use of the entire radio spectrum range could be reviewed, depending on actual market demands plus social and cultural objectives. Furthermore, consumers and ther bands adequate for coverage. Considering the capacity of the 800 MHz band to transmit over large areas, coverage obligations should be attached to rightsroadcasting industry are now making substantial efforts and investments in clearing the 800 MHz band. Consequently, no additional change of use should be considered for the remaining broadcast spectrum.
