📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) published, through a ministerial resolution, the draft supreme decree that proposes to extend the maximum period for the start of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) transmissions in the localities of Territories 4 and 5, indicated in the DTT Master Plan. The proposal is that it be from December 2024.
This is due to the fact that most television stations operating in Territories 4 and 5 have not submitted expressions of interest for DTT migration. Also, almost none of them transmit in digital signal. The DTT signal will replace the analog one and will allow access to better image and sound quality and enjoy the open signal for free.
Territory 4 is comprised of 10 localities (Abancay, Cajamarca, Chachapoyas, Huancavelica, Huánuco, Puerto Maldonado, Moquegua, Cerro de Pasco, Moyobamba and Tumbes), while Territory 5 is made up of 482 localities from different parts of the country. It should be noted that Lima and Callao make up Territory 1 and Arequipa, Cusco, Trujillo, Chiclayo, Piura and Huancayo form Territory 2.
This proposal seeks to ensure that the deadline for the start of DTT transmissions in both territories considers the reality of each, among other aspects. This will allow broadcasters greater opportunity to migrate to the digital signal, reported the General Directorate of Telecommunications Authorizations.
The public and specialists have until August 11 to submit their opinions and recommendations on this proposal of the ERM.
