SKY announced today they will be handing back analogue UHF licenses to the government on November 30 2013.

John Fellet, SKY's chief executive officer said;

"At SKY we are backing ultra-fast broadband to play an increasingly important role in the future to deliver quality video content to our customers.

We examined several potential uses and business cases for this spectrum, but have concluded that between satellite and ultra-fast broadband our business needs will be met. It is not necessary to convert our analogue licenses to digital."
