The ACMA held a one-day Digital Dividend Spectrum Tune-Up on 3 November 2010 at Sydney's Australian National Maritime Museum.
The forum was a valuable opportunity for attendees to learn more about the issues raised in the Discussion Paper, Spectrum Reallocation in the 700 MHz "Digital Dividend" Band, which was released on 20 October 2010. A range of speakers from industry and the ACMA presented different perspectives on the issues that will drive the configuration and allocation of the digital dividend.
Attendees also had the opportunity to share their views at the Q&A sessions. These sessions encouraged open discussion between attendees, ACMA staff and industry professionals on digital dividend spectrum issues.
