Aetha developed a number of five digital dividend case studies for the GSM Association. The case studies documented how the assessed countries (Australia, Finland, Germany, Mexico and the UK) freed up 700MHz and 800MHz spectrum as the result of the transition from analogue to terrestrial broadcasting, i.e. how they created the ‘digital dividend’. In particular, the case studies focused on which obstacles were faced by the different countries and how these obstacles were overcome.
