Yes, because certain analogue TV station uses >700MHz range, so the LTE/5G services can't be used in 700MHz band.
But to think again, even if it shuts off now, the 700MHz spectrum will be vacant for quite some time (except some digital TV transmitters that uses 722MHz frequency)

So in other words, rush so fast to shut it off also, still have to wait at least Q3 2020 to be able to start enjoying 4G/5G services on 700MHz.
But despite this, I wish to see analogue TV to switch it off as soon as possible.
If I would guess, what would be the main advantage for RTM and Media Prima if they switch off analogue sooner?
Well, they can start enjoy savings for no longer need to pay electricity bills for operating the analogue transmitters.
Disadvantage? They'll lose the remaining viewership from analogue viewers who haven't switch to digital.

As for now.. 5G is still in test mode... I was thinking why still testing... Now I know the deployment timings...
As for losing viewship... I sure many already know about this.. because TV always have ads & the box ads too (the screen become smaller bcoz ads bottom & side)...
