The European Commission on 24 May 2005 urged EU Member States to accelerate the switchover from analogue to digital broadcasting. Digital broadcasting provides improved picture quality, better sound, better portable and mobile reception, more TV and radio channels and enhanced information services. The Commission expected the transition to digital to be well advanced by 2010 and proposed a deadline of early 2012 for phasing out traditional analogue terrestrial broadcasting. The Commission also called for a co-ordinated approach to making freed-up spectrum available across the EU. |
