Why Digital Broadcasting ?

More Programmes

Interactive service

High Quality A&V

Portability and mobility

Pay TV platform

Efficient Use of spectrum

Digital Dividend

Convergence and Competition

Page 5: ITU Initiatives in ASIA

What are the main challenges of analogue switch-over ?

• Legal and Political issues • Program editors, Licensing, number and ownership of Multiplexes,

Network Operators, Public TV services, commercial TVs, local TV Standards, Analogue Switch Off (ASO), etc.

• Technical issues • Standards, compression system (MPEG2/MPEG4), Spectrum

availability, network planning (MFN/SFN), coverage areas, end users equipment (Set-Top Box/ D-TV), etc.; and

• Analogue broadcasting will no longer be protected after 17 June 2015

• Economical related issues • Introduction of new business model, transition costs, subsidizing

vulnerable people, etc.

• Allocation of digital dividend

e.g.

Page 6: ITU Initiatives in ASIA

Digital TV Standards

• ATSC – Advanced Television System Committee in USA – Currently in USA and Canada – Mainly terrestrial Standard

• ISDB – Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting – Mainly in Japan, Philippines, Brazil and some south America – Extended to form such as terrestrial, cable, and satellite standard

• DVB – Digital Video Broadcasting – Most of the countries in the world

– Developed through a consortium known as DVB in Europe

– Many variants or forms of DVT operation

• DMB-T – Digital Multimedia Broadcasting – China is working on DMB-T as terrestrial transmission

e.g.,

Page 7: ITU Initiatives in ASIA

• To implement strategy and related to project planning

• To match short-term and long-term goals • To indicate the main activities to achieve the

goals

Objectives of Roadmap:

Tool

Three main Reasons

For Roadmap

• Helping to reach consensus about requirements and solutions

• Providing a mechanism to help forecast the key milestones

• Providing a framework to help plan and coordinate the steps needed

How to approach: e.g., Roadmap ?

16 November 2011 WEMF V, Accra, Ghana 13 13 13

Regional Project on Digital Broadcasting

was developed and funded jointly by ITU

and KCC/R.O.Korea: e.g.,

Updated Guidelines and added a new

chapter on archives migration to reflect

the different ITU rules and requirements

in Region 3: i.e., Asia and the Pacific

Conducted survey to identify needs and

selected 5 pilot countries to develop the

migration roadmap models for Asia-Pacific

3. Cambodia: Roadmap Report

21

• The Cambodia television market is characterized by a great number

of national TV services and a wide choice of TV platforms (analogue

and digital terrestrial, analogue and digital cable, Internet Protocol

Television (IPTV) and satellite TV).

• The National Roadmap Team (NRT) has the ambition to switch-off all

analogue terrestrial television services by the end of 2015 at the

earliest (or 2018 as possibly the latest) and carry out to : e.g.,

– Get the roadmap report approved;

– Acquire a mandate to plan and manage the analogue switch-off process in accordance to the phases of the roadmap;

– Prepare and take decisions to determine the scope and duration of the roadmap planning;

– Form a Project Management office (PMO) and start drafting an initial detailed ASO planning and determine the progress reporting procedures and structures.

3. Mongolia: Roadmap Report

22

• Television in Ulaanbaatar is provided by the government funded

national independent public broadcaster (Mongolian National

Broadcaster – MNB) , and 15 private television broadcasters.

• The Mongolia government has made a strong commitment to

complete migration and analogue switch off by 30 June 2014.

• The government decision sets out four primary objectives for the

migration project: e.g.,

– To create the legal environment

– To select the appropriate technology standards

– To establish a migration framework setting out the transition

plan for the country

– To carry out the training and communication activities

3. Tonga: Roadmap Report

• The analogue free-to-air (FTA) television broadcasting industry for Tonga comprises two broadcasters and three channels. Tonga Broadcasting Commission (TBC), the public broadcaster, dominates with two channels.

• The cabinet has recently approved the Roadmap assisted by ITU and move forward the Analogue Switch-Off to 15 June 2014 (a year earlier than original plan).

• Analogue switch-off can have a substantial impact upon national communities. In many countries, specific enactments of parliament facilitate in law the right of government to declare an analogue switch-off date with all associated policy ramifications.

3. Nepal: Roadmap Report

• Nepal Television, which was formed in 1985 as the state

owned broadcaster, has 19 transmitting stations and 3

transmitters owned by private operator are also in

operation.

• The Digital Switch Over (DSO) policy developed by the NRT is

to have five phases for a smooth change over to digital

broadcasting.

• DSO or ASO has been spread over six years, while the final

Analog Switch Off for Nepal is expected to be December

2017.

3. Sri Lanka: Roadmap Report

• The Sri Lanka TV market, with an estimated 3.5 million TV households, is mainly a terrestrial TV FTA market with a very high number of analogue terrestrial TV programme services (23). There is a wide choice of TV delivery platforms; in addition to analogue terrestrial TV, also digital TV satellite, analogue and digital cable TV, IPTV.

• One of the policy directives introduces a new category of network operator to provide the service of delivering the content of the broadcasters to the viewers. The new category is termed Digital Broadcast Network Operators (DBNO).

• The milestones are based on the timelines originally stated in the Report submitted to Ministry of Mass Media and Information: e.g.,

– End 2011 to mid 2012: Deployment of DTTB pilot transmission services in Northern Province and Western Province;

– Mid 2014: Deployment of DTTB services from eight DTT principal stations;

– End 2015: Analogue shut off in Western

– End 2017: Complete Analogue Switch-Off
