Meanwhile, according to media reports, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) special task team has settled the digital TV standards argument by adopting the latest version of the European standard, known as digital video broadcasting terrestrial version 2, or DVB-T2.
In a statement following a three-day meeting of the SADC committee responsible for reviewing the digital TV migration standard in Lusaka, Zambia, Committee Chairman who is also Namibias Minister of Information and Communications Technology, Joel Kaapanda said the best standard for the region is DVB-T2. Kaapanda said the committee based its decisions on several factors, including the looming international deadline for digital migration of 2015.
