Abstract

The arrival of digital free-to-air television has had pleasant consequences for owners of newer television sets: they can now enjoy high-definition pictures, with higher-quality sound than was previously available through analogue transmission. But the benefits don't stop there. The bandwidth used by the new digital channels is considerably smaller than that required by their older counterparts; the spectrum required to broadcast one analogue channel can support six in digital format. So the impending switch-off of the analogue system will leave a lot of frequencies in need of a good home. Toby Daglish, Phuong Ho and Yigit Saglam delve into the details of the auction processes most likely to be used by the government to re-allocate these frequencies.
