Iris Plus 2013-1 - Digital Switchover Council of Europe

Within the EU the introduction of digital television and its regulation is quite advanced. The big majority of EU member states has completed the digitization process by the beginning of 2013. But how is the switchover to digital television progressing in other parts of Europe? This IRIS plus on the situation in Russia and the ten other countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States as well as ten selected States of South-East Europe shows how painfully slow the journey from tried and trusted analogue TV to the pleasure of digital viewing can be.
