Within the EU the introduction of digital television and its regulation is quite advanced. The big majority of EU member states has completed the digitisation 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.

LEAD ARTICLE

Digital Plans and Reality: Switchover in Russia and other CIS Countries

The lead article examines the numerous stages that had to be and, in some cases, are yet to be completed in Russia and the other countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States in order to successfully launch the first multiplex. It looks in particular at numerous legislative amendments, plans and draft strategies, selection procedures, investments and technical aspects, market structures and restructuring, and finally, the role of authorities and state bodies.
