Africa's SADC members to adopt uniform digital TV migration

Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) member countries have adopted a united approach to digital television migration to help countries develop harmonious policies and regulations, and share experiences.

Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) member countries have adopted a united approach to digital television migration to help countries develop harmonious policies and regulations, and share experiences.

The 12-country economic bloc has set December 2013 as the deadline for all members to switch from analog to digital broadcasting, giving an 18-month grace period to sort out any policy, regulatory or operational challenges that the community may be faced with during the migration process. The global switchover announced by the International Telecommunication Union is mid-2015.

"Malawi is working together with the SADC team to ensure swift migration; a steering committee on digital migration has just been formulated comprising the Ministry of Information and Civic Education as the leader and Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority [MACRA] as the coordinator," said K. Masangano, deputy director in charge of broadcasting at MACRA.

SADC members include South Africa, Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mauritius, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Tanzania and Zambia.

Africa faces the challenge of aligning policy and legislation to ease the migration to digital broadcasting, in terms of investment in technology and consumer awareness.

"The migration process requires policy harmonization," said Joel Chacha, frequency management engineer at the Tanzania Communication Regulatory Authority. "There are financial and technical implications and questions on what will happen to incumbent operators' transmission equipment and infrastructure and whether the signal will be relinquished to the authorities for re-assignment," said Chacha.

One of the major challenges facing many African countries concerns the future re-use of premium spectrum that will be freed from the current allocations for analog broadcasting services.

The freed spectrum is being considered as "digital dividend," and countries will have to decide whether to use it to enhance rural coverage or to redistribute it to private bidders.

To allow proper migration, consumers will have to invest in modern television sets or buy set-top boxes that will convert older TVs to digital. Most of the set-top boxes are imported from Asia, and there was a big debate in South Africa whether the government should subsidize imported boxes or invest in local manufacturing.

This debate has led SADC to suggest a unified standard for the region and allow some countries to manufacture the boxes and distribute within the region. Malawi is currently depending on imported boxes but will rely on the SADC recommendations.

"Malawi is also looking at the prospect of benefiting from a regional approach being taken by SADC by agreeing to the standards that are going to be agreed within the region for STB. It is expected that once such agreements are done, manufacturing of a standardized STB within the region by such countries like Mauritius and South Africa will benefit the region in the migration process," said MACRA's Masangano.

In the SADC region, the organization supports the strengthening of the public relations departments of the regulatory authorities to address consumer issues as well as to educate people on issues arising from the migration.

SADC member countries met last month and decided to organize a meeting in Mauritius next month to discuss challenges and progress in digital migration.

Though the SADC region has set 2013 as the final cut-off date, several countries have set their own dates. South Africa is planning to switch off in 2011 while Tanzania is planning to switch off in 2012.

Tanzania, which is a member of the East Africa Community (EAC), will benefit from the momentum generated by SADC, as opposed to the EAC, which is yet to develop tangible guidelines and directions.

For instance, Kenya is yet to start testing the digital platform, and the Digital Migration Committee is yet to make any public pronouncements or hold public forums.

"The Digital Migration Committee has the task of creating awareness in Kenya. Even though the committee has been slow, media houses have done a commendable job and the government will inject some life to the committee to do their task more vigorously," said Bitange Ndemo, permanent secretary in the Ministry of Information and Communication.

Kuna habari za TBC kubinafsishwa kwa Wachina, hapa: https://www.jamiiforums.com/jukwaa-la-siasa/37175-tido-mhando-na-ubinafsishaji-wa-tbc.html
Mkataba ulisainiwa kwa "kuharakishwa" baada tu ya maamuzi haya ya SADC!! ....Something very fishy smelling....!!

SteveD; TCRA huko nyuma walitangaza Expression of Interest kualika makampuni kwa ajili ya kutoa huduma za Multiplexxer Operator for Digital Broadcasting. Hii ni Terrestrial transmission Technology ambayo itamfanya mtumiaji wa TV na baadaye radio kupata matangazo yake kwa njia ya Digital. Faida yake ni kuwa matangazo yanakuwa na ubora wa juu na pia masafa yanayotumika (spectrum) ni ndogo kuliko ilivyo sasa kwa Analogue Transmission.

Katika Category ya sasa ya License kuna Content License, katika category hii kuna Radio na TV na Vituo vyote vya Radio na TV wana leseni hii. Leseni hii inawawezesha wenye vituo kuandaa Content na Kuzirusha.

Katika Digital Broadacsting, kuandaa content na kuzirusha kutatenganishwa. Anyaeandaa content hataruhusiwa kuzirusha ili kutoa room kwa fair competition kwa wale wengine watakoataka kuanzisha TV na Radio.

Kwa taarifa tu ni kuwa kwa DSM sasa hivi masafa ya Radio yamejaa na kwa hiyo huwezi kuanzisha Radio Mpya. TV masafa yamebaki machache. Katika Digital Braodacsting masafa yatakuwa mengi na wengi wanaweza kuomba leseni na kufungua vitua vyao vya habari.

Sasa basi katika Digital Broadcasting, Technolojia ya transmission ni tofauti na ya sasa hivi na zaidi ya hayo kujenga Miundombinu (Infrastructure) za transmission ni gharama kubwa sana kwa NCHI NZIMA, hii ni mbali na uendeshaji wake. Ni dhahiri kuwa inahitajika kampuni yenye uwezo mzuri wa kiufundi na kiutendaji.

Katika mfumo wa Fair Play huwezi kuwa Refa na kisha Mchezaji. Hivyo Makampuni yote ya Utangazaji hayakutakiwa kuomba kuwa Multiplexer Operator. Basically kulikuwa kunatakiwa makampuni matatu:
1. One - Public Multiplexer Operator
2. Two - Private Multiplexer Operator.

Defintely kimikakati ingefaa TBC waunde kampuni nyingine ya kurusha matangazo ya Public Broadcastors. So, hii inaweza ikawa sababu ya wao kufanya expression ya kufanya hiyo kazi pamoja. However, this has got nothing to do with CONTENT ambayo ndiyo Core activity ya TBC.

Katika Expression of Interest iliruhusiwa kuwa na partners na katika partners local partner lazima alitain 35% minimum.

Utaona kuwa kampuni kama ITV na StarTV yameungana kuunda kampuni ya Basic Transmission.

Na vile vituo vya kidini kuunda Agape associates Limited

Na TBC na partners kuwa StarMedia Tanzania Ltd.

Sasa hapa kuuzwa kwa TBC kunakujaje wakuu.

Mkulu Superman, naona umejitutumua kichizi kwenye hili lakini umeshindwa kupaa...
Hata hivyo nakushukuru kwa attachment mkuu. Ngoja nipitie pitie nami yanayojiri, ili kuweza kurudi baadae. Thanks.

Mkuu;

Sikuwa nataka nipae . . . Ila nilikuwa napenda kuweka bayana kile ninachokijua. napenda Ku-Declare kuwa sina Interest yoyote TBC na katika mchakato wa sasa wao ni washindani wangu na haya niliyoyaeleza ndiyo niliyoyakutana nayo katika mchakato huo.

 

[Butola]

Sasa mkuu Superman, kina Mengi(ITV) and Samweli Nyala(Star TV) ambao ni Multiplexers hawataruhusiwa kutengeneza Contents kwenye stations zao?

 

[Mtazamaji]

Superman naomba ujaribu kunileza haya mambo ya telecommunication huw anapendasana kuyafahamu.

Umetaja faida ila hujasema upande mwingine wa shilingi tutegemee nn kwa watumiaji.


Hivi haiwezekani ukawa ndo mwisho wa channel za bure? Naona kama hii ni njia ya kuwa na ma DSTV. kwa mtazamo huo ni kama kuisafishia njia Multchoice au DSTV.

Nadhani kuna baadhi ya mashirika ya utanazaji yatafaidika zaidi ( Multichoice)wakati mengine yakiwa kwenye wakati mgumu. Kuweka fair competition inabidi kitu.

Kutakua na TV rating sys kujua watu wangapi wan watch TV show?

 

[khalids19]

sasa HDTV stations zitakuja lini?2020? au

 

[Butola]

sasa HDTV stations zitakuja lini?2020? au

Hizo zitakuwa baada ya shut-off of analogue televisions ambayo kibongobongo(East African Countries) wamepanga kuwa ni 2012 lakini kiuhalisia it may take up to 2015(ITU Shut-off time).

Kabla ya kusitishwa kwa analogue broadcasting haishauriwi kutumia HDTV kwa sababu spectrum efficience yake sio nzuri ukilinganisha na SDTV, ila baada ya shut-off of Anologue Broadcasting ruksa.

 

[LINC]

Mkuu;

Sikuwa nataka nipae . . . Ila nilikuwa napenda kuweka bayana kile ninachokijua. napenda Ku-Declare kuwa sina Interest yoyote TBC na katika mchakato wa sasa wao ni washindani wangu na haya niliyoyaeleza ndiyo niliyoyakutana nayo katika mchakato huo.

Superman,

kwa kuongezea tu kidogo kwa kile ambacho nakifahamu mimi ...hawa wachina ( Starmedia) wanatumia Decoder ambayo inakuwezesha kutumia smart-card ambayo watakupatia wao na pia gharama zake zitaanzia TZS 10,000 au zaidi kwa mwezi ila nimejaribu kufuatilia sijajua gharama ya decoder .

Swali langu ni hapo uliposema kwamba Star-TV na ITV wameungana na kuunda Basic Transmission, hawa nao watakuwa wakitumia njia gani ya kutoa huduma kwa wananchi ?

 

[yakub]

yeah its true

 

[Shedafa]

yeah its true

Kuhusu nini?

 

[kikahe]

Star media tumeshaona mambo yao (star times) na Agape associates ( Ting) kama sijakosea. Vipi hao Basic transmission? Ina maana tutalazimika kuwa na decorder nyingi home ili kupata hizo local channles? Tuelewesheni plz

 

[Kimori]

Ina maana antena zetu hazitafanya kazi baada ya migration from analogue to digital?
