(3) Spectrum in the 470-790 MHz frequency band is a valuable assetnd public asset, and not only 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 is thus a prerequisite for access to and dissemination of cultural goods, in particular radio. 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.

(13) In any case, spectrum usage in the 470-694960 MHz frequency bands should be reassessed at Union level no later than 2025. Such an assessment should also take into account the planned reviews of this frequency band ats with regard to the World Radiocommunication Conference in 2023. Changes in the use of the sub-700 MHz frequency band should take into consideration technological developments, consumer behaviour, the importance of continuing the delivery of free television26 service and social, economic and cultural general interest objectives. In this context, studies on technical and regulatory conditions for co- existence between incumbent and new spectrum uses in the sub-700 MHz frequency band are necessary. These would ensure coherence between the approaches taken by different Member States on flexible and efficient spectrum use and would enable technical harmonisation measures for use and co- existence in this band. Such studies and measures may be developed pursuant to Decision No 676/2002/EC. _________________ 26 In the meaning of Directive 2010/13/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (Audiovisual Media Services Directive).
