UK - Ofcom has commissioned a comprehensive study into the RF spectrum requirements of the programme making and special events (PMSE) sector. The study aims to assess programme makers' demand for spectrum and the availability of spectrum to the sector, both today and in the future. There is particular emphasis on digital TV switchover and how this will impact the availability of spectrum for wireless microphones.

The study will also look at the economic and social value derived from all uses of spectrum by the programme making and special events community, explore how spectrum can be secured for these uses and consider future spectrum management arrangements. This will inform Ofcom as it prepares to move the programme making sector towards market-based methods of spectrum allocation and management in 2007. The study is to be undertaken by a joint team from Quotient Associates Ltd and Spectrum Strategy Consultants and is to be completed by Autumn 2005.
