BCC Introduces Digital Broadcasting Law

The Broadcasting and Communications Commission (BCC) has announced a new law to introduce digital broadcasting services by 2012.

Under the special law, broadcasters will stop transmitting analog TV signals by the end of 2012 so they can start digital broadcasting.

To that end, the law also requires the BCC to form a digital broadcasting promotion committee. The committee, to be headed by the BCC chief, will establish mid- and long-term plans for digital services.

Digital broadcasting promises to deliver high-quality, interactive and diverse media to meet the needs of demanding TV viewers.
