Abstract

The digitisation of both broadcast and subscription television has attracted considerable attention globally over the past few years. In a few markets, including Australia, regulators have sought to help stimulate the conversion from analogue to digital free-to-air broadcast infrastructure. While this helps address increasing pressure on regulators to manage spectrum more efficiently, as a model it has yet to be widely adopted by consumers, particularly in the horizontal environment of freeto- air broadcasting. Although targets have been identified for 18digital migration 19, the quest for effective conversion strategies for television broadcasting continues.
