BSEC- FRANCE- BRAF Seminar

Istanbul, BSEC Headquarters, 3 December 2012

“New Audiovisual Broadcasting Technologies and the New Economic Models Arising from Them“

SUMMARY

1. The BSEC-France-BRAF Seminar “New Audiovisual Broadcasting Technologies and the New Economic Models Arising from Them“ was held at the BSEC Headquarters in Istanbul on 3 December 2012. 2. The event was attended by the representatives from the Republic of Armenia, Republic of Azerbaijan, Romania, Republic of Turkey, French Republic and the Black Sea Broadcasting Regulatory Authorities Forum (BRAF). The List of Participants is attached as Annex I. 3. The participants were welcomed by H.E. Mr. Victor TVIRCUN, Secretary General of BSEC PERMIS, H.E. Mr. Serge SMESSOV, Ambassador in charge of cooperation between the EU and BSEC, Mr. Hamit ERSOY, Secretary General of BRAF, and Mr. Hervé MAGRO, Consul General of the French Republic in Istanbul.

4. The seminar was held in four sessions on different aspects of digital transition allowing its participants to overview the present state of affairs, legal, technical and financial aspects of the analog switch-off as well as to exchange experience on the best practices used and to discuss the prospects of cooperation in the field. 5. Mr. Jean-Bernard GRAMUNT, International Manager, DTT and ICT Cluster Expert from Ministry of Renewal Economy of the French Republic, made a presentation on the developments with regard to digital terrestrial television (DTT). He informed the delegations that the switchover from analogue to digital standard is a global movement impacting all technologies in the information society. Amongst the different technical standards, DVB-T is the most largely used. 6. The speaker also briefed the participants that, according to the GE06 Agreement of 16 June 2006 they agreed on, the analogue transmission using UHF band (470-862 MHz) should be stopped at the latest by 17 June 2015, and those using VHF band (174-230 MHz) by 17 June 2020. Most of the European countries have already or are about to complete their DSO before the end of 2012. Japan, USA and many countries in the world have finished deployment. African countries work hard to achieve the target before 17 June 2015. The Latin America is late. Brazil had postponed its initial objective (2016). Other countries plan to do so in 2018-2020. The Asian countries are at different stages, but some, as Thailand, have increased their pass on the issue. The presentation is attached as Annex II.

7. Mr. Frédéric BOKOBZA, Head of Division, Development of Economy of Culture, Ministry of Culture and Communication of the French Republic, made a presentation about

1

the legislative framework adaptation to digital transition and convergence, content policy and offer widening. 8. He also emphasized that France had shared its experience regarding the planning and launch of Digital terrestrial television (DTT) as well as the organisation of the analog switch-off (ASO) with a number of states. Both operations required a significant amount of preparation and legislative framework adaptations. The ASO, in particular, proved to be a politically very sensitive process, which required a number of successive modifications of the law in order to fine-tune its provisions and ensure the support of all stakeholders (politicians, companies, population). An appropriate and detailed information and help (including on-site support and financial subsidies for some) was crucial in the process. This enabled both to respect the planning, which had been defined by law more than 4 years in advance, and to spend significantly less public money than initially foreseen. 9. Moreover, the whole process has boosted the TV sets markets for several years and the digital dividend has brought around 2,6 billion euros to the State budget. The DTT platform, which is a key in terms of contribution to audiovisual original European production, faces new challenges in the years to come: adopting new, more efficient technical standards, completing the transition to HDTV, preparing for a potential second digital divide, facing connected TV, etc. The presentation is attached as Annex III. 10. Mr. Taha YÜCEL, Deputy President, Radio and Television Supreme Council, made a presentation on impacts of convergence on audio-visual media services. He noted that during the recent years new technologies have aroused in audio-visual media services. This has led to convergence of broadcasting, information and communication sectors. New technologies such as IPTV, WebTV, Mobile TV and OTT were discussed in addition to older terrestrial, cable and satellite transmission platforms. Basically, Internet use in the world, EU and Turkey is dramatically increasing especially in the sector of online videos. The trend shows that while online videos are booming, traditional broadcast images are declining. Global pay TV and on-demand values are increasing. The presentation is attached as Annex IV. 11. Mr. David MOUEN, Marketing Manager, Digital Terrestrial TV Solutions, Thomson Video Networks, made a presentation on Cluster Images and Networks as well as DTT value chain. He informed the delegations that this project comprises 232 organizations: large companies involved in multiple DTV topics, small companies focusing on dedicated topic, universities, engineering schools, and public research labs. The presentation highlighted the funding and innovations projects managed by the cluster. The speaker also gave some details on ImaginLab, a test bed and a Living Lab part of the Cluster Images & Networks. 12. The second part of the presentation dealt with details on the DTTV value chain, recall the new services and benefits expected from a DTTV network, expose 2 case studies (Sweden and Azerbaijan), explained the evolution of the compression codecs (from MEG-2 to HEVC) and position DVB-T versus DVB-T2. After DTTV Roll-Out Scenarios members of the Cluster Images & Networks were positioned in the DVB-T/T2 value chain. The presentation is attached as Annex V. 13. Mr. Jean-Louis ROUVIÈRE, Head of the TV Planning Department, Supreme Audiovisual Council, presented the role of the French regulator in the preparation and implementation periods for the analogue switch-over. Some key points were provided covering both periods:

2

• the possibility to receive the DTT programs on a freeview satellite platform, which may be a good complement to terrestrial coverage;

• the frequency planning activities in order to avoid multiple frequency plans, the value of the guard interval for SFN networks and the necessity of coordination with neighbouring countries should be carefully studied;

• a coordination between the broadcasters is sometimes necessary, in order to implement in a coherent way the plan;

• local difficulties after the switch over may occur, should be treated swiftly, and may need to adjust the frequency plan, especially if it is an SFN network.

Furthermore, some insights concerning the new opportunities and next steps for digital television, were provided such as interactive services, or migration to new standards (MPEG4/HEVC, DVB-T2). The presentation is attached as Annex VI.

14. Ms. Eve-Lise BLANC-DELEUZE, DTT Manager, Canal France International, and Jean-Bernard GRAMUNT, International Manager, Ministry of Renewal Economy, made a presentation on the French DTT transition guide. Taking into account the complexity of DSO which at the same time is a major national project that could potentially bring about considerable growth, the speakers had prepared a Practical Guidelines to the Digital Switch Over. 15. This handbook can be used as the basis for or to supplement the national document that each country is required to draw up in order to enhance the overall visibility of the process and mobilise all those involved. This pragmatic guide can be adapted for use in each individual country and offers solutions drawn from a wide variety of experiences. It is aimed to help to overcome regulatory, political, technological and economic challenges. Since it addresses the main issues, this Handbook can be used by all parties involved - the government, regulatory bodies, service providers, civil society and the private sector, along with the relevant regional and international organisations – to gain a clear picture and better understanding of the challenges and objectives. The covered topics are:

• digital political switchover issues: whilst part of a wider project on a global scale, the digital transition is primarily the culmination of a national strategy;

• technical issues by dividing up the work to be carried out;

• legislative and regulatory issues addressing over 30 different points including organisational and DSO management;

• communication which should be undertaken and help scheme;

• business plan (transition costs assessment and how to fund them). 16. The speakers also informed the delegations on the methods of calculating and evaluating specific digital transition cost and potential funding including assessment of the digital dividend value. Their presentations are attached as Annex VII and Annex VIII. 17. Mr. Laurent de MERCEY, Deputy Director, Digital Economy Department, International Technical Assistance Agency of the French Economy (ADETEF), presented an overview of the ADETEF activities, the ways it interacts with its public and private partners

in order to take part in tendered projects funded by international donors, and its main intervention zones, which include the BSEC Member States. 18. Further on, the speaker presented the instruments of the regional and external policies of the European Union, which could support the projects linked to the switching to digital television in the BSEC member states. These instruments were established for the period 2007-2013 and are subject to renewal for the period 2014-2020. They consist in the structural funds for the EU member states (regional policy), the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) for the candidate countries (enlargement policy) and the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI), which includes the Eastern partnership, for several partner countries among which six BSEC member states (neighbourhood policy).

The importance of the role of the European Union delegations in the BSEC member

states for supplying information on the funding opportunities and procedures, for tendering and contracting was stressed. Innovative tools for funding EU member states experts such as TAIEX were mentioned, as well as the possibility to receive additional investment support from donors such as the European Investment Bank and the World Bank. The presentation is attached as Annex IX. 19. During the Seminar its participants had a fruitful exchange of views and of an experience on the presented topics. They expressed their common view that the Seminar provided a good base for evaluation of present international trends on the analogue to digital switchover, its perspectives and possible cooperation in the field. They also expressed their gratitude to the Government of the French Republic, the Forum of the Black Sea Broadcasting Regulatory Authorities Forum and BSEC for organization of the Seminar and excellent arrangement made for it.

Overview about DTT in the world

Istanbul, December 3rd 2012

SOMMAIRE

• DTT, a world Challenge.

• Broadcasting standards

• DVB

• And the winner is ...

• Implementation of DTT in the world

• Why ASO is important?

• Where are you in the process ?

DTT – A world challenge

• The switchover from analogue to digital is a global movement impacting all technologies in the information society. It has been achieved in telecommunications, music, photography and pictures; it is under way in television, while radio is lagging behind.

• But also a political obligation for countries of ITU zone 1: GE06 Agreement of 16 June 2006, signatory countries agreed to stop analog transmission using UHF (470-862 MHz) by 17 June 2015, and VHF (174-230 MHz) by 17 June 2020.

Broadcasting standards

According to the ITU-R BT.1306-6 (12/2011) recommendations, Error-correction, data framing, modulation and emission methods for digital terrestrial television broadcasting, there are four systems.

• The ATSC standard, single carrier system, was initially developed for US broadcasters by the Advanced Television System Committee (ATSC), and was also selected by Canada, Mexico, Korea and Honduras.

• The ISDB-T (Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting - Terrestrial) standard has become the Japanese standard. It uses OFDM and MPEG2.

• The SBTVD-T (Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão Digital - Terrestrial) is based on ISDB-T + MPEG4 + GINGA. This version was also chosen by many Latin American governments.

• The DTMB (Digital Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcasting) standard was adopted by the People's Republic of China

And DVB

• The DVB-T standard (Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial), an OFDM one, comes from the DVB Project produced by :

the EBU (European Broadcasting Union), ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) and CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization).

It h b l t d t d d b b t i f th• It has been selected as a standard by member countries of the CEPT (Conference of European Post and Telecommunications) and as a benchmark standard for planning at the World Radiocommunication Conference in 2006.

• Two main versions DVB-T (MPEG2 / MPEG4) and DVB-T2 (MPEG4).

• DVB is an open standard, managed by an association of more than 289 stakeholders. This standard, and its later variants, have been adopted by many countries in the three ITU regions.

And the winner is DVB!

Implementation of DTT in the world

• In EU many countries have deployed DTT and completed their ASO. For others, ASO deadline is December 2012.

• Japan, USA and many countries in the world have finished deployment.

• African countries work hard to achieve the target of 17 June 20152015

• Latin America is late. Brazil had postponed its initial objective (2016). Other countries plan 2018-2020.

• Asian countries are in different steps, some as Thailand are pushy.

Why ASO is important?

• ASO is strategic for digital dividend.

• After ASO, countries can use they frequencies for telecommunications services.

• E g of FranceE.g of FranceSome UHF frequencies (791-862 Mhz), used by analogical TV, after ASO

free for new utilization : 1st digital dividend.French government made a call of tender for these frequencies, to be used

for 4G in 2011.Results for digital dividend : 2 600 M€ for 800 Mhz, cost of switch-off in

France for the French State 150 M€, benefit : 2.450 M€.Now some countries are talking about a 2nd digital dividend on 700 Mhz

(698-780 Mhz)…

DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL TELEVISION IN FRANCE

I. Launching Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT)- Elaboration of the legislative framework- DTT roll out- The offer of TV channels and its extension- The evolution of the access to digital television- The evolution of the audiovisuel landscape- The broadcasting market

II. The Analog Switch-Off (ASO)- Legislative framework- Implementation and lessons learned from ASO- The digital dividend- The TV sets market- Technical standards- The future of DTT: further challenges

PREPARING THE LAUNCH OF DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL TELEVISION (1)

1996 - 2000 : Preliminary studies and pilots

• Studies launched by ministers (Culture and Communication, IT/Industry): Lévrier report (1996) ; public studies on planification of frequencies and on technical standards, services and TV sets (1997), …

3

• Numerous experimentations were carried out in parallel by broadcasters and TV channels - from 1998 on in various regions (Bretagne, Remiremont, Neuilly, Dijon, ...)

• « White Paper » and governmental working group (1999), in the frame of which all audiovisual stakeholders were consulted, resulted in a new report (rapport Hadas-Lebel) published in January 2000

The law of 1 August 2000 has set up the framework for launching DTT:

• It extended to digital the basic principals of audiovisual frequencies management :• The Governement may request the priority allocation of frequencies for public

service broadcasting channels• The audiovisual regulatory authority (Conseil supérieur de l’audiovisuel -

CSA) selects the private channels (call for tender, selection, autorisation, convention)


4

• France Télévisions is authorised to create self-owned subsidiaries, which edit free-to-air digital channels and may be funded by a fraction of the licence fee

• 3 key options were taken:• Right to simulcasting for pre-existing analog terrestrial TV channels• One digital « Bonus TV Channel » for each editor of an authorised analog

national TV channel• The CSA shall select free-to-air services in priority « insofar as they are

economically and financially sustainable »

2000 - 2004: Preparing the operational launch of DTT

• July 2001 - March 2002: call for candidatures carried out by the CSA• October 2002: selection of the TV channels by the CSA (« beauty contest »)• June 2003: autorisation of the channels by the CSA and definition of the multiplexes• July 2003: decree on the (pre)funding of spectrum refarming• December 2003: DTT launching schedule fixed by the CSA• March 2005: operational launch of DTT, initialy for 35% of the population


5

DTT operational launch was postponed due to resistence by key stakesholders

• Strong reluctance of the private historic national analog channels• doubts on the compression standard to be used (MPEG-2 vs. MPEG-4)• fears regarding the spectrum refarming and its impact on the viewers• doubts on the initial population coverage rate, which was deemed too low• criticisms targeted at the offer of channels

• Pay-TV channels struggling to find commercial distributors

• Extensive discussions on the grouping of channels within the DTT multiplexes

THE STAKES OF A MODERNISATION OF THE TECHNICAL STANDARDS FOR DTT

New technical standards enable: - optimisation of spectrum use- wider TV channel offer- decrease in broadcasting costs - to make spectrum available for telecom services- revenue generation for public finances

Broadcasting standards: DVB-T, DVB-T2 => digital capacity of a multiplex

HEVC

27

Source: CSA

Encoding standards: MPEG-2, MPEG-4, HEVC... => digital throughput for a TV channel

DVB-T multiplex (French parameters) : 24 Mb/s• 4 Mb/s for a SD MPEG-2 (free-to-air) channel• 2.5 Mb/s for a SD MPEG-4 (pay-TV) channel• 8 Mb/s for a HD MPEG-4 channel=> Number of channels broadcast in a DVB-T multiplex

• 6 SD MPEG-2 free-to-air channels• 10 SD MPEG-4 pay-TV channels• 3 HD MPEG-4 channels

MPEG-2

MPEG-4

DVB-T : 24 Mb/s DVB-T2 : 36 à 40 Mb/s

THE FUTURE OF DTT & DIGITAL TVTechnical and socio-cultural policy challenges

Extension of the coverage of the R5 multiplex (HD channels)

Launch of R7/R8 multiplexes (new HD channels), new local channels

• New types of services: interactive TV (HbbTV standard), connected TV non-linear audiovisual media services (VoD)

28

TV, non linear audiovisual media services (VoD)

• Enhanced image quality (generalised migration to HD; Ultra-HD & 3D TV to be studied)

• Modernisation of broadcasting and compression standards (DVB-T2, MPEG-4, HEVC, …)

• Towards a second « digital dividend »?

• Content is always King:– Quality content takes place in every platform.– Audiences would like to reach every content at any time.

• Investors question future of classic FTA TV business model:– RTL stated to his investors that every channel costs will be %15

decreased.

Digital TVs PVRs widening of internet platform increases pressure on

Investors’ Outlook on Media Sector

– Digital TVs, PVRs, widening of internet platform increases pressure on traditional broadcasters.

• Internet is an important media however it has a problem of converting money.– High quality videos, games, news and sports news interest.– People perceive internet as a free media – financing with

advertisements.

Insights from the audioviual regulating authority

Istanbul - Turkey

3 décembre 2012

Jean-Louis [email protected]

The legal framework

•The Broadcasting Act defines the regulatory framework

•It gives CSA (conseil supérieur de l’audiovisuel, Broadcasting authority) a major responsability in : •Spectrum allocation for DTT services (UHF band)•Selection of private channels by a call for tenders : « beauty contest » •Allocation of frequencies for public tv broadcasting, without a call for tenders, and private channels after the selection

CSA - BSEC dec. 2012 2

p

•The actual role of the French regulator in the ASO, derived from the allocation of frequencies, covered two fields, on two periods of time :

•The frequency planning (in order to avoid interference with well selected frecencies for each site) in the preparation period•The coordination of the stakeholders (6 multiplexes, 4 technical broadcasters), especially on the implementation level, (deployment period)

•The regulator tries also to anticipate the next steps to ensure the sound development of DTT

o Defining the frequency plan

o Two models (long/short simulcast period)

DTT in France

► 2 standards :► For the video coding (MPEG-2, MPEG-4)► For the broadcasting (DVB-T, DVB-T2)

► Video coding standard: – MPEG-2 for freeview (SD); – MPEG-4 for pay TV;– MPEG-4 for freeview (HD) ;


► broadcasting standard : DVB-T

► On one multiplex : ► up to 6 programs in SD (MPEG-2)/ 10 programs in HD (MPEG-4)► Up to 3 programs in HD (MPEG-4)

Defining the DTT network

► All analogue transmitters have not been digitalized► 3500 analogue transmitters ► CSA elaborated a list of 1626 diogital transmitters

► More than 2 000 transmitters have not been digitalized. The viewers have► Either reoriented their antennas► Migrated to an alternative reception (most through free

satellite)


► The choice for digitalized transmitters was driven through two criterias : ► More than 1500 people for well covered areas► More than 500 people for least covered areas

► This ensured two objectives► A national target of 95 % for all multiplexes► An homogeneous local coverage of 91% for each département

This step was crucial to efficiently communicate on the digital coverage to the viewers in advance

24 regions have been successively switched off

Carefully designed :

- Technical areas but coherent with administrative boundaries

- No more than 8 main tranmitters per step

A progressive schedule


step

- simultaneous switch for main transmitters and relays

- less populated areas : at the beginiing

-Mountainous regions : at the end of the process (because of the large

number of transmitters)

ASO 2013-2014 ?

1. ASO in France : Frequency planning

► target plan : the Geneva 2006 digital plan► adopted in the ITU radiocommunication conference held in

Geneva in June 2006

► First digital frequency plan (“transitory”)► Totally different from the Geneva 2006 plan► A lot of planning activities had to be undertaken during

simulcast between analogue and digital, in order to avoid interferences on analogue

► Second digial frequency plan (« plan de passage »)


► Second digial frequency plan (« plan de passage »)► After ASO, close to the Geneva 2006 plan► Sometimes different from the Geneva 2006 plan at some

local areas (because of the presence of analogue broadcasting in adjacent areas)

► Third digital frequency plan (« plan cible »)► launch of two additionnal multiplexes ► fully compliant with the Geneva 2006 plan

Frequency planning activities need to be carefully assessed

DTT roll-out in overseas territories

► A single multiplex (MPEG4) has been launched overseas in November 2010 with 10 TV programs ;


► ASO occurred between September and end of November 2011 in each individual territory

1. The ASO experience : frequency planning

►Conclusion for first part 1. ASO experience : frequency planning :

► possibility to receive the DTT programs on a freeview satellite platform

► Assess carefully the frequency planning activities in order to avoid multiple frequency plans


► Coordinate the frequencies and the ASO schedule with the neighbouring countries, even across the sea

► Maximise the guard interval value in DVB-T- Advantage : possibility to plan a single frequency network as much as

possible (reuse distance more than 60 km)- Drawback : reduction of the number of TV programs

- MPEG2, SD, 64-QAM : 6 programs with a guard interval of 1/8 4 programs with a guard interval of 1/4

outline






2. the ASO experience : deployment (1/3)

►Who is concerned ?►The first isssue is to make people aware of their individual ASO date

(web engines, communication)► a schedule for the technical areas which is based on

administrative areas is much easier to be understood by the


yviewers

►Necessity to explain how to rescan the tuners after a frequency change►Difficulty for elderly people►Source of many phone calls the week of the ASO date in the region


►Coordination of the stakeholders

► imposed the power of the digital tranmsitters

► In SFN networks, to be implemented in a coherent way

► Alternative channels were sometimes implemented for a particular site, however, technical broadcasters had sometimes difficulties to inform each other.


other.

► It was very beneficial to organise common measurement campaigns when technical broadcasters disagreed


►Necessity to solve some local remaining difficulties in ►Not expected at the begining►Local adjustments in the frequency plan

►A very tight schedule : ►Final ASO date (30 November 2011) in the law : major objective


►Final ASO date (30 November 2011) in the law : major objective►An ideal schedule should leave sufficient time to :

►prepare the next region (before ASO) ►solve local difficulties due to wrong implementation (after ASO)

3. What are the next steps ? (1/3)

►Going to digital is a revolution that triggered new potentialities

● More TV programs● Better quality (picture and sound)● New services


● Mobile television● High definition (HD) services● Television on demand● Connected television and interactive services

Example of interactive services



► interactive services : European standart HbbTV

► CSA authorized the TV channels to use HbbTV standarts to develop interactive services for 3 years from June 2011

► Large scope of services : ► Catch-up TV► Video on demand► Online voting


g

► HD forum consortium have recently released terminal specifications► in order to solve Interoperability issues on the reception equipments.


► 2 standards :►For the video coding (MPEG2, MPEG4, HEVC)►For the broadcasting (DVB-T, DVB-T2)

► Next step : generalization of HD formats

► Transition for the video coding standard from MPEG 2/MPEG4 to


► Transition for the video coding standard from MPEG 2/MPEG4 to MPEG 4 only :►next step (after 2015) ►To be coupled with the introduction of DVB-T2 (HEVC ?)

► Transition of broadcasting standard from DVB-T to DVB-T2 : ►after next step (~2020)

PRACTICAL GUIDELINES

SWITCHING TO DIGITAL TELEVISION

SWITCHING TO DIGITAL TELEVISION

Istanbul, December 3th 2012

OVERVIEW

• Context of the digital TV transition

• Main transition challenges

• French experience

- 2 -

• Practical guide

• Keys points of the guide

Transition to digital: a global phenomenon

• International coordination by the ITU - Countries must respect agreements GE 06 and the decisions of

WRC12.

• Over 100 countries did their ASO between 2005 and 2011 (no later than 31/12/2012 for the countries of the European Union) – Europe, USA, Japan ...

- 3 -

• Countries of the ITU Region 1 (including Africa, Persian Gulf, Middle East, Russia and Mongolia) committed themselves to do so before :

– June 17, 2015 End of the extinction of the analog UHF (470-862 MHz)

– June 17, 2020 End of the extinction of the analog in the VHF band (174-230 MHz)

• In Latin America and Oceania, no formal deadline but all countries in working process.

E.g. Africa and DTT

Schedule adopted at the conference UAT / ITU in March 2012, in Bamako

• September 2012: End of informal discussions for frequency coordination and start of formal amendments on GE-06 planification.

• December 2012: Adoption of a common standard for digital broadcasting in the sub-regional area in Africa.

- 4 -

• June 2013: Finalization of national legislative and regulatory frameworks in the transition to digital TV and the allocation of the digital dividend. End of the frequency planning (national and international) for the deployment of digital television and the extinction of the analog TV.

• September 2013: Beginning of the deployment of digital TV

• June 2014: Start of the extinction of the analog UHF signal

• June 17, 2015: End of the extinction of the analog UHF (UHF ASO)

Two phases for the transition

• Preparation phase from June 2012 to June 2013 – Preliminary studies, feasibility studies – Definition of technical, economical and political strategies– Publication of laws and decrees

- 5 -

• Deployment phase from September 2013 to June 2015 – Creation of national unique broadcaster (recommended)– Deployment of digital TV – Digital development – Extinction of analogue

• resources

• digital convergence

French experience, a proven record of success

In metropolitan area• March 2005, launch of DTT.• 2009, 85% of the population covered by 600 broadcast transmitters.• November 2011: 97% of the population covered with 1626 transmitters

2/3 network deployed within less than 2 years. • Chosen standard DVB-T / MPEG 2 & DVB-T / MPEG4 for HD• Phasing : three pilot areas in 2009, ramping up fast schedule (10 regions in

2010, 14 in 2011)

- 8 -

• ASO: November 30, 2011.

French overseas territories• Launch of DTT in December 2010. ASO between September and November

2011 (within less than 11 months). • Chosen standard DVB-T MPEG4 • Transition strategy adapted to the specific situation of each area (cultural,

economical, technical aspects taken into consideration)

Despite a very tight schedule100% French households equipped 86% of French people pleased

Organisation and assessment

Organisation • A operational steering committee GIP France Télévision Numérique (FTN), to

coordinate the whole process, - A central office plus regional outlets in each of the 24 regions + overseas. - Regional delegations present in a region for 10 months. - Highest FTN number of employees, including the central and regional

structures, was 76 in late 2010.• Work closely with the CSA (planning and control deployment) ANFR (tests and

Work closely with the CSA (planning and control deployment), ANFR (tests and measurements)

• Involvement of all stakeholders: national commission transition advisory committee ...

Financial statements of the digital transition• Cost for the French State € 102 million, cost for TV companies € 46 million • Construction of the network (broadcast operators) € 160 million, charged to the

multiplex • Dividend income: 2.6 billion Euros.
