Hello @bsky.app. Still just testing the water here. Never mind - here's another podcast we did recently, about a new report from our partner firm SignalTracker that compares the performance of MNOs with that of the MVNOs who piggyback on their networks www.policytracker.com/blog/do-mvno...

"North American Broadcasters Association (NABA) has launched the North American Spectrum Alliance... which unites broadcasters, content creators, rights-holders, venues & others in media & production to protect spectrum critical for... RF production elements" - www.tvtechnology.com/news/broadca...

5 of 5: "There are fears this would hinder the development of 5G Broadcast... & and also end hopes by mobile network operators to use the 600MHz band for mobile broadband services from the late 2030s, when current agreements to protect UHF frequencies for TV expire" - rxtvinfo.com/2024/militar...

4 of 5: "While there's acknowledgement that the threat from Russia may lead to a situation where military forces across Europe get absolute control over frequencies & can transmit where they see fit, military use of cultural/media [frequencies] in peacetime" [is a jolt] rxtvinfo.com/2024/militar...

3 of 5: "The proposals state 'A permanent & therefore unlimited use of radio devices in basic operation with the full bandwidth for military radio applications is required. The NATO frequency band between 225-400 MHz does not allow any further development” - rxtvinfo.com/2024/militar...

2 of 5: "The German Army wants to claim UHF channels in the 470-510 MHz range, plus at least one channel in the 510-608 MHz range. A further two channels are required in the 614-694 MHz (n71) frequency range" - rxtvinfo.com/2024/militar...

🇩🇪 The new government in Thuringia (D) will campaign for cultural frequencies: “We recognize the increasing demand for frequencies for the cultural as well as event industry and are committed to providing the necessary equipment.” 👍 @bsw-deutschland.bsky.social @jusos-thueringen.bsky.social

"Bundestagswahl 2025: FDP-Abgeordnete Linda #Teuteberg tritt wieder in Potsdam an" Gute Nachricht. Frau Teuteberg hat immer Interesse und Unterstützung gezeigt für #Kulturfrequenzen. Wir sagen: Danke. www.tagesspiegel.de/potsdam/land... @fdpbt.de @freiedemokraten.bsky.social

The military in Germany, and possibly other countries, demands a share of the cultural frequencies. One thing is clear: In times of war, the military always has priority. But in times of peace, we must not bury culture! Frequencies for culture! mailchi.mp/c6c92447b786...
