<p>Officials have consulted Ofcom who hold such information. Ofcom advise that they
do not hold such information for bands below 87.5MHz, but have provided information
for bands from 87.5MHz-30GHz.</p><p> </p><p>Ofcom has identified the proportion of
spectrum accessed for public sector uses (not limited to the military), defined as
all spectrum bands used by the public sector with Crown immunity (i.e. without need
for authorisation by Ofcom). For the purpose of this analysis, this category includes
all aeronautical uses of spectrum.</p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td> </td><td><p>Crown
use of spectrum as a % of total weighted spectrum</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>87.5 MHz</p></td><td><p>30
GHz</p></td><td><p>54%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>26% of the total weighted
spectrum in the 87.5MHz to 30 GHz is allocated for radiolocation services/radar.</p><p>
</p><p>Ofcom cannot provide specific information with regards to spectrum in use for
public service broadcasting as the national allocation of frequencies does not distinguish
between public service broadcasting and non-public service broadcasting. The table
below provides information with regards to the proportion of total weighted spectrum
in use for terrestrial broadcasting, split into TV and radio.</p><table><tbody><tr><td>
</td><td> </td><td><p>Terrestrial broadcasting spectrum as a % of total weighted spectrum</p></td><td><p>TV</p></td><td><p>Radio</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>87.5
MHz</p></td><td><p>30 GHz</p></td><td><p>8%</p></td><td><p>7%</p></td><td><p>1%</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
