French LTE operators to bear the cost of DTT interference

France's mobile operators will bear the cost of any interference with DTT services, according to the 2012 budget bill presented on 28 September, Les Echos reports. The additional spectrum to be aucttioned for LTE services in December, are located in the 800MHz frequency band, very close to the one used for DTT. The draft law states that "in case of interference, operators will take the necessary measures to enable the resumption of TV service reception by any appropriate means".
