Important remarks

 

Figures above reflects the maximum number of people located in the areas where interference is possible. Population figures do not include households that already migrated to DTT or DTH (indication is that 60% of television viewers already migrated to DTH or DTT). Most viewers affected will experience slight interference on analogue TV program. As such, Special efforts should be made to migrate affected viewers and others to DTT & DTH as soon as possible to avoid interference. Emphasis should be placed on migration of analogue television viewers who experience interference and where the frequency is transmitted above the 694 MHz to release the spectrum for IMT.
