Broadcasting
Terrestrial broadcasting is
on the threshold of a revolutionary transition to digital worldwide. The
process of transition from analogue to digital broadcasting, which
offers advantages in terms of spectrum efficiency, higher video and
audio quality and new business opportunities, is expected to be at peak
level in the next ITU-D cycle in most developing countries. Inevitably,
requests for assistance
will increase, in line with the upcoming transition to digital
terrestrial broadcasting, simulcasting, and the analogue switch-off.
The objectives of the
programme in the area of broadcasting is to enable developing Member
States to overcome the challenges and migrate smoothly from analogue to
digital broadcasting, including terrestrial TV, mobile TV and sound
broadcasting, thereby reaping the full benefits of spectrum efficiency. |
