Continue the squandering of billions of dollars invested by public and private operators in the deployment of digital terrestrial television (DTT), as currently very few enjoy their signals already available in the air for free.
People do not know much of DTT and that to receive a decoder or a television special characteristics is required. Often receiving equipment that are good for the standard of choice for DTT channels broadcast television broadcast Colombia are acquired. SIC recently he sanctioned with fines of nearly 2,500 million pesos to 15 manufacturers, importers and distributors of television, not inform consumers about its compatibility with the standard.
However, the biggest barrier for the mass of DTT in Colombia it is that households do not have the necessary to receive the broadcast network television for free, without relying on aerial cable operators. So today, when in arrears, short Cable operator and subscriber service runs out watching television, including open channels. It should not be but it happens because of lack of aerial at home.
The National Television Authority (ANTV) has done little to encourage the habit of watching TV without relying on networks of operators cable. Did they believe the story that television is over and that everything comes online? Did they forget that broadcast television is a public service and that the State must guarantee the right to watch TV without paying for it?
Last year ANTV, against the right of Colombians to see broadcast television for free, legitimized for cable operators lack the aerial in homes and dependence experienced by users of cable networks.
Meanwhile we are leaving the train the digital switchover. Consideration should the case of Mexico where, to encourage the penetration of DTT, were distributed free nearly 5 million sets between the low-income population.
