Cisco: Digital switchover should favour broadband
19/10/2007 by swordfish.
Cisco has issued a plea for wireless broadband services to win out in the so-called “digital switchover”.
The digital switchover involves the turning off of the UK’s analogue broadcast signals in favour of digital. The process began this week and is expected to finish in 2011.
As a result, around 112MHz of analogue UHF frequencies will be sold off in chunks. The regulator, Ofcom, is keen to be seen as not favouring any particular technology. The entertainment industry is lobbying for much of that spectrum to be retained for the broadcast of high-definition TV (HDTV) and radio.
NEC, the manufacturer that provides much of the technology behind the switchover, said in a statement released on Thursday that the switchover would give everyone access to affordable digital TV services with improved picture and sound quality.
It claimed that HDTV services could become free-to-air — a development for which it suggested there was great “appetite”.
