Incidentally, there's another nightmare pending, that oddly involves
yet another potential source of GPS interference. In EU, the official
future all digital broadcast band is 1452 to 1492 MHz. There's no
hardware, and several countries are just sitting on the spectrum, but
that's the official ITU dictated direction for S-DAB.


No, the official EU digital (radio +) band is 174-240 MHz. The 'L-band'
you mentioned has been used for digital radio, but it is not suitable
for terrestrial distribution because the frequencies are too high. There
now remain a few transmissions from satellite and just a few thousand
receivers scattered around the continent. I wonder what will happen to
the frequency allocation in 2012.
