Abstract
La gestión del espectro radioeléctrico que ha ordenado el funcionamiento nacional e internacional de la radio y la televisión a lo largo de todo el siglo XX está en cuestión. No sólo han aparecido nuevos agentes que reclaman una porción de este recurso intangible y finito, sino que nuevos usos tecnológicos están sometiendo a una importante presión a la lógica de explotación tradicional. En este contexto, uno de los grandes interrogantes refiere a los posibles usos que se darán y los beneficios que se obtendrán de las frecuencias que se liberen con el cese de las emisiones analógicas. Así pues, el objetivo es comprender cuáles son las oportunidades y amenazas que el denominado dividendo digital traerá consigo: a partir de analizar las transformaciones que sufre hoy la gestión tradicional del espectro radioeléctrico, y en función del posicionamiento que algunos países están tomando al respecto (específicamente, España y el Reino Unido).
The management of the radio-frequency spectrum that has organized national and international broadcasting throughout the 20th century is under review. Not only there are new actors that demand a portion of this intangible and limited resource, but also a large and growing number of services put additional pressure on the traditional logics that regulate spectrum management. In this context, a key issue refers to the potential uses that will be given, as well as the benefits that will be obtained, from the amount of spectrum that will be freed up in the switchover from analogue to digital broadcasting. Therefore, the objective is to understand which are the opportunities and challenges the so called digital dividend will bring about: analyzing the transformations affecting traditional spectrum management, and considering the positions some countries are already developing (specially Spain and the United Kingdom).
