Digital dividend green paper
On 5 January 2010, the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy announced the release of an Australian Government green paper on the digital dividend. The green paper sought comments on potential uses of digital dividend spectrum, the potential benefits these uses could provide to the Australian community and economy, and the costs involved in the ‘restacking’ process. The consultation period closed on 5 March 2010.
On 24 June 2010, the Minister announced the government’s decision to release 126 MHz of contiguous spectrum in the frequency range 694 to 820 MHz inclusive as Australia’s digital dividend. The government’s decision was made following outcomes of the green paper consultation process.
