Introduction of new digital broadcasting technologies - 1
Workshop and frequency coordination meetings on transition to digital television and digital dividend in Bamako, Mali, 13-15 March 2012 and Kampala, Uganda, 16-20 April 2012 following the ATU Digital Migration and Spectrum Policy Summit that took place in Nairobi, Kenya from 29 November to 1 December 2011.
• Objectives: to promote the cooperation and exchange of experience within the African countries
on spectrum issues relating to the transition to digital terrestrial television and the digital dividend;
to coordinate sub regional Roadmaps and initiate frequency coordination, with a view to facilitating harmonization and use of the digital dividend spectrum.
• Recommendations: to give urgently consideration to the possibility of harmonizing the digital TV
transmission and definition standard, at subregional or regional level; to complete questionnaire issued by the ITU-D in response to Question 11-3/2 on this
issue: (http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/CDS/gq/generic/questionnaire.asp?ProjectID=201).
