By November 20, 2011, analogue television in the whole of France must be replaced with TNT (Terrestrial Numeric Television i.e. digital television). This change over will make it possible to release the frequencies used for analogue transmissions of which a part will allowed to enrich the number of TNT channels available to the great despair by the traditional television channels who already see their market share at risk.
But it is the remainder of the released channels which will not be used for television could play an important role. They are officially reserved for the installation of high debit Internet in France.
It should be said that they have an excellent penetration in the buildings. One is unaware of who will exploit them, but it is extremely probable that just like in the United States, they make an auction with public bidding among all the operators already in place.
To remain on the American example: even though Google hoped to buy a part of it, the bidding took off and the historical operators were pushed out and thus did not to make a big thing of these allocated frequencies.
