Philippines to start digital TV shift in 2019

Philippines’ regulatory agency, National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), announced that the country’s DTT switch is likely to begin by 2019 with the process to start in the national capital, Manila.
“We are targeting to release the IRR within the month, as we just have to finalise some minor details,” said Gamaliel Cordoba, Commissioner of NTC. “Next will be the migration plan or when to shut off analogue TV. This will be by phase and for NCR (National Capital Region), the shift will be not more than five years from now, by 2019.”
Philippines plans to adopt Japan’s Integrated Services Digital Broadcast-Terrestrial (ISDB-T) standard over European standard.
