E.U. Wants to Release Local TV Spectrum to Mobile

The European Commission is poised to back a plan that would divert a portion of the TV broadcast spectrum to mobile operators by 2013.

The proposal is part of a package of broadband changes drafted by Neelie Kroes, the E.U. commissioner for telecommunications, that would require the 27 members of the bloc to set aside the 800 megahertz frequency band for mobile broadband by Jan. 1, 2013.
