Frequency spectrum requirements from WP 6A (Doc. 4-5-6-7/54) Based on responses to a Questionnaire sent to concerned MS&SM Estimation/determination for DTV depends on many factors:

- Number & format of broadcast programme services (SD, HD, 3D, UHDTV, interactive data, etc.) required in a particular area;

- Use of Multiplexing services in a particular geographical area;- Spectrum planning – Nb of RF channels required in a particular areato fulfill the many important social functions of DTV Broadcasting recognized by governments around the world (information, alerting, etc.)
