Digital television and mobile broadband services are significantly progressingrnfor the past three decades; this progress, in turn, is putting a burden in thernavailable spectrum. Two of the factors that contribute to the burden are:rnunderutilization of the spectrum occupied by the previous analogue televisionrntransmission and congestion of the spectrum due to several wireless servicesrnsupported by the spectrum.rnIn Ethiopia, there are a limited number of terrestrial television channels and arnsingle mobile service provider. Hence, there is no imminent challenge fromrnspectrum scarcity at the present. However, as more television servicesrncommence in the future and the telecom infrastructure expands further, wherernboth are in the immediate plans of the Government of Ethiopia, spectrumrnscarcity will likely be encountered.rnDigital dividend, which creates an opportunity in making use of thernunderutilized spectrum, is a promising solution for the problem facing thernspectrum. Digital Dividend is a free spectrum band that will be created as arnresult of the transition from analogue to digital terrestrial televisionrntransmission. This spectrum can be used to support emerging services fromrnthe broadcast and telecom sectors. Therefore, a proper frequency resourcernplanning that accommodates the two wireless systems is needed sooner orrnlater.rnIn light of this, this thesis shows how the resource can efficiently be usedrnwithout a considerable interference impact between the two systems. As thernworld has sought the digital dividend as a hopeful solution in dealing withrnspectrum issues, this paper discusses the context of Ethiopia's spectrum issuesrnDigital Dividend and its Opportunities for Emerging Wireless Services: the Case of Ethiopia Page IVrnin proposing the analogue switchover and showing coexistence among otherrnwireless services. The coexistence and compatibility studies help radiornplanners and national frequency regulator bodies to come up with newrnmanagement of the frequency resource. This facilitates a way forward forrndesigning a standard spectrum plan before many wireless services begin tornoperate.rnIn this study, the wireless environment of the City of Addis Ababa is analyzedrnwith the possibility of applying the study for the rest of the country as well.rnThe results obtained identify the region 700-1429 MHz band as a digitalrndividend out of which 795-1429 MHz band can be used for non televisionrnwireless services, particularly for broadband mobile services such as the LongrnTerm Evaluation (LTE).
