answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>In its consultation on the future of the 700MHz band, Ofcom highlights the important benefits that PMSE delivers to the UK. Ofcom sets out a clear objective, in case of a change of use of those frequencies away from existing services including PMSE, to continue to secure those important benefits. Its plan to achieve this includes improving the way current use takes place as well as securing access to alternative frequencies and Ofcom is working closely with stakeholders through its regular engagement with the British Entertainment Industry Radio Group.</p><p>I welcome Ofcom’s recognition of the significant value that PMSE delivers and we fully support their work on mitigating the effect of loss of access to the 700MHz band. This is an integral part of any change to the 700 MHz band and the DCMS will continue to monitor Ofcom’s work in this.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 28/10/2014 09:38:51 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>Ofcom published a statement in May on its strategy to deal with the growing demand for mobile data services.</p><p> </p><p>In that document Ofcom highlighted that there are a wide range of long term forecasts both in terms of traffic levels and set out the subsequent implications for future spectrum requirements. Ofcom will continue to review the growth in mobile data demand, and consequently how much spectrum (in addition to public sector spectrum in the 2.3 GHz and 3.4 GHz bands and the proposed release of the 700 MHz band) it might be beneficial to make available for mobile data services in the future. However, this type of analysis is inherently subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and therefore Ofcom is working to ensure there are sufficient spectrum options for the future to deal with this demand if and when it emerges.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 28/10/2014 09:38:03 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
