The document discusses Sweden's approach to releasing spectrum in the digital dividend for mobile broadband use. Sweden transitioned digital terrestrial television which freed up the 800 MHz band (790-862 MHz). The Swedish government then decided to vacate this spectrum and award it through an open, service-neutral licensing process between 2009-2010. Harmonizing the use of the 800 MHz band across Europe was seen as important for enabling economies of scale in both equipment and services.
