Cultural and media organisations campaign to save terrestrial TV

“Additional low-band spectrum will help connect rural areas to better quality services by reducing the number of cell sites needed to reach the same level of performance. Today, operators typically aim to deliver at least 5 Mbit/s to 10 Mbit/s at the cell edge in rural areas, but this is expected to increase to 10 to 20 Mbps for 5G. Even with existing spectrum assets in other low bands, an additional 600 MHz spectrum will reduce the sites needed to provide 20 Mbps consistent coverage.”

Finding this fascinating, there's talk of allowing TV on 600 MHz bandwidth.

Not in the UK but across Europe.
 
Living in a terrestrial TV signal not spot, it would be more beneficial to use the frequency for mobile internet and provide TV service on demand over the improved internet connection. Most people have to rely on FreeSat or Sky for TV here any-ways.

I think the way we "consume" TV is changing too with more and more people using catch up and on demand when they have the time to watch TV. Terrestrial TV days are numbered as the are fighting battles on multiple fronts and losing!
 
Personally I like broadcast TV and radio in general, we still watch/listen quite a bit. I hope it doesn't get killed off.
We shouldn't rely on Internet for everything.
