The Singapore government has said that up to 170,000 households could receive some form of financial aid to mitigate the cost of migrating to digital terrestrial television (DTT) – with the low-income group to get help with almost the full cost.
Communications and Information Minister Yaacob Ibrahim said DTT is expected to be rolled out to all Singapore households by 2020, and DTT set top boxes are expected to retail for about S$129 (USD 102) when they become available.
“Certainly, we want low-income households to migrate without having them spend a lot of money, so we hope we can help them by giving them assistance through the set-top box, the antenna and a bit of funding for installation,” said Yaacob.
