The truth about the "mobile myth" is revealed in the study which demonstrates that, the value created by using UHF spectrum for non-broadcast services, would be modest, and that the economic case for two-way mobile services (e.g. mobile telephony) in the UHF band in Europe is dubious. There are already large amounts of non-UHF spectrum available to mobile network operators.

The study underlines that the business case for using UHF to deliver rural broadband is weak. In particular because there are other frequencies available which could be used for optimal delivery of rural broadband.

The other widely proposed use of the UHF band is ‘rural broadband’, a stand-alone wireless service for communities that cannot access fixed services. Although the UHF band permits large service area coverage, the available bandwidth will not be sufficient to deliver “true” broadband (e.g. 2 Mbit/s or more) to many simultaneous users, whereas spectrum above 2000 MHz delivers much greater bandwidth and is already available to mobile operators.
