Romania delays analogue switch-off

Iñaki Ferreras ©RapidTVNews | 02-09-2010

The audiovisual regulator of Romania, ANCOM, has announced that the country’s analogue switch off will have be postponed until 2015.

 According to an information published by teledigital.es, from 1 January 2015, all TV sold in the country will have to integrate a MPEG-4/DVB-T tuner and the country’s two first muxes will have until 31 December to reach 95% of the country’s population.

It is though hoped that Romania’s transition will start by the middle of 2014 when these two first muxes will likely have reached almost two-thirds of the nation’s population. Once the national analogue switch off is completed the national government will allocate another four extra muxes for those operators with liberated frequencies in the analogue transmissions.

ANCOM is also reported to be ready to return the whole amount of money invested by those operators who had already presented their documents to get the first DTT licenses.
