South Africa's digital TV deadlines - All the broken promises
South Africa's transition to Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) has been a dismal and costly affair, characterised by the government's ineptitude and inability to meet multiple deadlines.
Digital migration is regarded as an essential step towards broadband growth in South Africa, as the process will open up of valuable frequency spectrum in the lower ranges.
Switching analogue television broadcasts to digital signals would free up spectrum and allow mobile operators and other service providers to deliver better and more affordable broadband connectivity in these bands.
