The “switch-off” is not the only reason as to why you need to shift to digital TV signals. As of the globally set deadline of 2015,the analogue signals will not be protected. Failure to migrate to digital broadcasting will put countries at risk of interference from neighboring nations as the agency will no longer protect analogue signals.
“The rest of the world is migrating to digital broadcasting and analogue broadcasting will not be protected from interference after 2015”,says a statement by Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK).
With a set deadline of June 17th 2015 by the Regional Radiocommunication Conference (RRC), countries Worldwide are racing up to beat this deadline. Kenya is due to complete its migration next year with the first phase scheduled for roll out in December in the capital, Nairobi.
The migration is considered vital as analogue technology is expensive to maintain not forgetting that it is gradually getting absolute. Spectrum is also scarce and its efficient use is critical. Digital broadcasting however gives more valuable spectrum that can be used for other services.
“With adoption of digital broadcasting, consumers in Kenya are now bound to enjoy improved reception, a variety of enhanced broadcasting applications …”, says CCK adding, “Market players will also reap the benefits from the reduced transmission costs and superior technology in their operations”.
