Why is a strategy for DTT important?
• The RRC 04/06 conference starts The RRC 04/06 conference starts in less than 7 weeks’ timein less than 7 weeks’ time
• First major review of VHF/UHF First major review of VHF/UHF frequency allocation since the frequency allocation since the Stockholm Plan in 1961 during the Stockholm Plan in 1961 during the Cold WarCold War

Two Scenarios for DTT in the Nordic countries for next 20-30 years
1. ”Business as Usual” for Public Service Broadcasting
2. Public Service Broadcasting as a Minimalist Niche in a Free Market Environment

1. Business as Usual
Broadcast radio & TV(digital)
• How much bandwidth will we need in phases 2 og 3?• How much will be needed for SD TV, Datacast and HDTV?

2. Free Market Model
Broadcast radio & TV(digital)
• In this model, no interactive media and services on DTT• No HDTV using MPEG-4 or alternative codec• I-media and services on digital cable/satellite/IP broadband only
Auction of “surplus”

What are the critical challenges for public service strategy?1. More choice? (channels
and programmes)2. More quality?
(better picture and sound)3. More flexibility?
(anything, anytime, anywhere)4. More interactive content and
services?5. Terrestrial broadcasting or a mix
of terrestrial/satellite/cable?6. A presence on ”our” or ”their”
distribution systems?
From 2004 to 2024
![Page 18: The Nordic Approach to DTT From the perspective of a public service broadcaster Peter Looms Danish Broadcasting Corporation Conference on POLISH ELECTRONIC](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d565503460f94a340db/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1. More Choice
• 76% of Danish households alresdy have more than the three free-to-air TV channels (”refusniks”)
• DTT a weak alternative to satellite and cable• More free-to-air TV• Cheaper alternative to satellite, calbe
and SMATV
![Page 19: The Nordic Approach to DTT From the perspective of a public service broadcaster Peter Looms Danish Broadcasting Corporation Conference on POLISH ELECTRONIC](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d565503460f94a340db/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
2 More quality
• Large, 16:9 flat screens and • Multichannel audio weak drivers• Quality drama still attracts large
audiences
![Page 20: The Nordic Approach to DTT From the perspective of a public service broadcaster Peter Looms Danish Broadcasting Corporation Conference on POLISH ELECTRONIC](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d565503460f94a340db/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Even the 15-24 year olds will watch TV if there’sa programme or series they think is worth watching
5 of the 10 most seen TV programmes in the last13 years were broadcast in February-March 2004
2. More quality
Better programmes?

Digital Domination
Analogue still widespread
![Page 31: The Nordic Approach to DTT From the perspective of a public service broadcaster Peter Looms Danish Broadcasting Corporation Conference on POLISH ELECTRONIC](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d565503460f94a340db/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Dilemmas:• The need to assure universal access
versus the need to maintain PSB audience reach and share (legitimacy of funding model)
• DTT unlikely to have more than a small market share until Analogue Switch Off
• DTT as primary distribution or should PSBs go where our viewers choose to be?
5. Terrestrial or a mix of terrestrial/satellite/cable?
![Page 32: The Nordic Approach to DTT From the perspective of a public service broadcaster Peter Looms Danish Broadcasting Corporation Conference on POLISH ELECTRONIC](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d565503460f94a340db/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Dilemmas:• DTT is ”our” system - is it just an
issue of broadcasting or also public services? (DVB-T or also IP Datacast on DVB-H)
• Is there political legitimacy for Public Services on ”their” systems? i.e. The Internet (narrow and broadband), mobile and wireless in the home and public areas
6. ”Our”or ”their” distribution system?
![Page 33: The Nordic Approach to DTT From the perspective of a public service broadcaster Peter Looms Danish Broadcasting Corporation Conference on POLISH ELECTRONIC](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d565503460f94a340db/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

What have we learned?
1. We have more in common than we are different.
2. Collaboration on strategy and policy gives better coverage and awareness of the issues than in one country alone.
3. A problem shared is a problem halved!
