GMCS
It is of the opinion that the State and ICP-ANACOM must not take into account only economic criteria in the selection procedure but associate to the auction conditions and compensations that guarantee the success of the operation of migration to DTT among the population and that safeguard the interests of the audiovisual industry and of the generalist televisions, namely:
- That a part of the revenues of the auction be allocated to the implementation of the digital terrestrial television (DTT);
- Subsidisation and/or cost compensation:
- Associated to the adaptation of the reception equipment;
- Of the distribution and broadcast service of the television signal in HD (high definition);
- In the acquisition of production equipment and in the production itself of HD contents;
- With distribution during the simulcast.
- Associated to the adaptation of the reception equipment;
GMCS also suggests, in this regard, that the development model of open DTT be redefined, in order to allow the current television operators in DTT to provide the entire population with universal and free access to the respective programme services in HD, in simultaneous and full mode.
Understanding of ICP-ANACOM
With regards to the comments of GMCS relative to the allocation of funds that result from the auction for, namely, compensations, subsidiation and/or compensation of costs associated to the migration of DTT, ICP-ANACOM is of the opinion that this is not the appropriate time to deal with said comments.
