Following Government encouragement of the transition for analogue terrestrial to digital
terrestrial television in many markets, the Venture team has worked with both broadcasters and mobile
operators to develop their Digital Switch Over (DSO) strategies.
Venture has helped numerous
commercial players to put their cases to Government and, in different regions, has worked for policy
makers to help them define the rules and regulations to apply.
Clients:
The New Zealand Government.
The Venture team developed the cost benefit analysis (CBA) that underpinned the NZ digital
switchover strategy.
A National regulator
The Venture team helped to determine what would be an appropriate methodology
for calculating a reserve price for 'digital dividend' spectrum.

A group of FTA broadcasters
The Venture team helped to run scenario analyses assessing the potential future actions of the
mobile players, new entrants and the Government, with the aim of developing a strategy to meet the
broadcasters' commercial needs as well as Government policy objectives, in a dynamic changing
environment.
The Australian mobile industry
The Venture Consulting team developed a cost benefit model that determined the likely economic
benefit that would be derived from awarding 'digital dividend' spectrum to mobile broadband vs.
broadcast services. This complex analysis determined the optimal split of digital dividend spectrum
between broadcast and mobile services under a range of different market scenarios.
The Venture Consulting study proposed an optimal allocation of 120-140MHz to the mobile industry.
The Government has, to date, provisionally awarded 126MHz.
