New development after the broadband tender
NMHH Approves Interconnection of Magyar Telekom and Telenor Networks
Published on 26. 02. 2015.
The National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH) has approved the agreement concluded by Magyar Telekom Nyrt. and Telenor Magyarország Zrt. on the secondary trading (lease) of the 800 MHz band obtained at the broadband frequency tender successfully completed in 2014.
Last year Magyar Telekom and Telenor obtained spectrum licenses for the 790–862 MHz band at the NMHH tender on spectrum licenses for broadband services. On 18 December 2014, the two operators concluded a lease agreement to ensure efficient frequency use, and applied for the permission of NMHH. Within its competence granted by the laws on electronic communications, the Authority has verified compliance with the technical requirements and the regulatory environment, and as of 24 February, approved the execution of the contract on the above secondary trading. The lease agreement on the frequency band signed by the mobile operators expires in 2029 and until such time the parties mutually and partially share spectrum rights with each other.

the Authority provided information about- future planned utilisation of the frequency band;- regulatory enviroment;- process of intended course
In December 2014 NMHH held a public hearing on 3,4-3,8 GHz bandin the course of which
and potential stakeholders provided prior information on their conception about future use of the band
3,4 – 3,8 GHz band (3)
Now we have a project about the preparation a tender for this-year-offer of the 3,4 -3,8 GHz frequency band

Rules and procedure of digital switchover
15Rules of digital switchover
The license • provides the right to operate digital broadcasting multiplexes for a 12-
year-period ( 5 DDT, 1 audio) until 05 September 2020
• Digital switchover shall be implemented by 31 December 2011 (modified to 31 December 2014)
• At least 94% of population shall be reached by public service programs
2007 - Hungarian Parliament accepted Act
2008 - Authority tendered for accomplishment of DTV networks.
Goal: 2 DVB-T, 1 DVB-H networks
in 2011 - DVB-H changed to DVB-T

Swith-over was realized in two steps:
• First step: by 31 July 2013
• Second step: 31 October 2013

Objective:
To foster regional cooperation, mainly supplemented by direct assistance to the administrations in the process of analogue TV switch-off, and management of the frequencies in the digital dividend bands, which are to be utilized bearing in mind the most effective use of radio spectrum.
Assistance to the countries in need in the following:
1) Transition from analogue to digital terrestrial broadcasting and switch-off process
2) Capacity building in spectrum management, including in the digital dividend band
3) Elaboration of studies, benchmarks and guidelines on the economic and policy aspects of the assignment and use of the radio-frequency spectrum.
