Digital Dividend

The Digital Dividend refers to the valuable spectrum of radio frequencies that becomes available when television broadcasters switch from analog to digital transmission. Digital broadcasting uses spectrum more efficiently, freeing up parts of the airwaves that can then be repurposed for other uses, such as mobile internet, broadband services, or emergency communications. This transition enables improved connectivity, higher data speeds, and new digital services, benefiting consumers, businesses, and governments. Essentially, the digital switch creates new opportunities and resources from the freed-up spectrum, turning a regulatory change into economic and technological gains.
