for LTE frequency is set next battle, this time between TV and radio broadcasters and mobile operators. Part of the range, MTS promised, “MegaFon”, “VimpelCom” and “Rostelecom” as the winners of last year’s competition for frequencies 4G, will withdraw from the broadcasters, who argue that it will result in problems for the digital channels and the inability to implement HDTV. Operators insist that without these frequencies construction of LTE networks will be very complicated.


National Association of Broadcasters (NAT) appealed to the Minister of Communications and Mass Media Nikolai Nikiforov and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev with a request not to accept changes to the plan for the use of radio frequencies, said yesterday at a roundtable in Duma president of NAT Edward Sagalaev. Draft amendments to the beginning of April, the Ministry of Communications issued by him for the construction of networks of LTE FDD offered including transfer bands 703-733 MHz and 758-788 MHz.
“NAT believes that the proposed change to the bandwidth allocation in the 694-790 MHz band does not consider the interests of broadcasters, jeopardizes the federal target program for the development of broadcasting in Russia up to 2015, which provides for the use of this band for distribution channels, “- said in the letter. NAT draws attention to the fact that the mechanism of seizure frequency from broadcasters, as well as the compensation to be developed. Seizure frequency will be impossible to introduce HDTV and build more multiplexes (package of digital channels that broadcast on the same frequency) necessary for the development of regional television and high definition television, “which is one of the main drivers of transition to digital television,” says the letter.
In September 2008, the State Commission for Radio Frequencies (SCRF) agreed on the allocation of frequencies for LTE development in Russia. According to it, the companies’ Skartel “and” Basis Telecom “allowed to build national chains in the range of 2.5-2.7 GHz and 2.3-2.4 GHz, respectively. Another four sets of frequencies in the range 791-862 MHz SCR commissioned distribute competitions (they became winners of MTS, “megaphone”, “VimpelCom” and “Rostelecom”). In addition SCR has decided to allocate an additional contest winners radio frequency band in the range of 2.5-2.7 GHz and 720-750 MHz and 761-791 MHz.
After completion of the federal target program “Development of Broadcasting in the 2009-2015 period,” the Russian people should be able to watch at least 20 digital terrestrial TV channels, including the channel in high definition television, which will be built three multiplex. Budget FTP – 123 600 000 000 rubles., Of which 76.4 billion rubles. – From the federal budget. Of this amount, for the construction of a network of digital terrestrial broadcasting public service provider (Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network” – RTRS) should go 29.9 billion rubles.
Source “b” is familiar with the distribution of frequencies for multiplexes, explained that the RTRS builds distribution infrastructure first and second multiplex in the range of 470-790 MHz, with about 20% of the frequency assignment falls on land 694 – 790 MHz.
“If the frequencies it will be given to the development of LTE, or need to change or reconfigure the TV transmitters to work in a different range. Firstly, however, no place to move. Secondly, there were plans for a the third and following multiplexes. Finally, in the same range of the analog version of the channels are working, “- said the source” b “. By FTP analog TV does not shut off after 2015, when the region of 97.6% of the population has got the equipment capable of receiving a digital signal.
“The International Telecommunication Union has not yet made a decision on the appointment of the frequency band 694-790 MHz, which includes Russia, this will only happen in 2015,” – said the source “b” in one of the channels. – If the range has secured the TV, our LTE network in the border area will interfere with TV networks in other countries “.
in the Ministry of Communications said yesterday that the process of harmonization of changes in the plan is not yet complete. In RTRS declined to comment.
representatives of MTS, “MegaFon”, “VimpelCom” and “Rostelecom” is not willing to give 700 MHz broadcasters, recalling that got them as the winners of the competition. “It is important to use this band because of all the selected bands for LTE in other bands much of the resource can not be used because of congestion means of law enforcement agencies,” – explained the spokesman for the “Megaphone” Julia Dorokhina. With this agreement in the “VimpelCom”. “The range of 700 MHz, as well as 800 MHz, is required to build coherent networks, combining high and low frequencies for high-quality coatings and dense urban areas with high-rise buildings, and the sparsely populated areas of little story,” – said the director of external communications, “VimpelCom” Elena Prokhorov. “If the operators of the winners of the contest will be picked up the b ass, it will increase the costs of organizing coverage LTE”, – indicate in the “Rostelecom”.
