The second phase of the project will enable the realization of the project objective of assisting the African countries in making their own roadmap to shift smoothly from analogue to digital terrestrial TV and on the use of mobile TV. This phase is scheduled to be carried out between November 2008 and October 2009.

In the course of the second phase of the project;

• Roadmaps will be customized for selected countries based on developed guidelines in order to align the guidelines with the specific infrastructure, environmental issues and timescales of the pilot countries,
• Pilot systems for digital terrestrial television broadcasting and digital mobile TV will be deployed in selected countries for them to experience digital broadcasting,
• Impact assessment report will be prepared to be submitted to African broadcasters to promote investment in digital and mobile TV broadcasting to narrow the digital divide in the region.
