Rival bidders outline digital terrestrial TV services
The Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI) yesterday held a public hearing as part of its competition to decide who will be awarded the contract to provide Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) services.
DTT is likely to be adopted by users of old-fashioned TV aerials who will see analogue signals for Irish channels such as RTÉ and TV3 switched off by 2012, while signals for British terrestrial stations are set to be switched off in autumn 2009.
