“Switch off TV by June 2022 challenging goal but no postponements, the Government intervenes”

by admin

The June 2022 goal to complete the second transition to digital TV (with the transition to DVB-T2) is “challenging” but we absolutely cannot think of a further postponement. The president of Anitec-Assinform, Marco Gay, claims this in the interview with DigitEconomy.24 (report by Sole 24 Ore Radiocor and the Luiss Business School). In this scenario, only “a strong acceptance of this transition by the new executive, with a precise plan of action at the country level and with the active collaboration of all stakeholders”, says Gay, can overcome the difficulties.

The goal of 2022 is today very challenging for the whole system: Government, broadcasters, technology producers, distribution are called to an extraordinary effort and it is necessary to recover a lot of ground compared to what has been done so far. The critical issues concern above all the management in a short time of a process which, also due to the pandemic crisis, has suffered too many delays and must now restart with a new impulse: only considering the device industry, we must deal with the constraints of supply chain that require careful planning and complex management of production, financial and logistical aspects. The current shortage of raw materials and components, the increase in costs and times for the transport of goods, represent further difficulties, which the industry will be able to overcome only in the face of a strong take on this transition. by the new executive, with a precise action plan at country level and with the active collaboration of all stakeholders.

Faced with the delays, there are those who also speak of the possibility of a postponement. Is this a desirable hypothesis?

Absolutely not, calling into question the deadlines of a path defined for almost two years would create further uncertainties for market operators and would risk fueling misunderstandings and a general climate of distrust in users. First of all we must start, next September 1st, from the passage of all digital terrestrial transmissions at least to the Mpeg4 standard (the encoding used today to transmit television services in high definition). The further transition to the DVB-T2 standard will then be inevitable, functional to optimize the frequency resources available, while offering the public a better experience of viewing content.The certainty is that from 1 July 2022 the 700 MHz band will have to be released to telecommunications operators for the diffusion of the new network services that our country is in dire need of, therefore television broadcasters will necessarily have to resort to more efficient transmission protocols than the current ones, and on this I want to reiterate that any scenario must foresee unequivocal timing. and certain dates
