Why is South Africa migrating from analogue to digital?

The world is migrating from analogue TV to digital TV to release spectrum that is needed for a variety of telecommunications services.

Radio spectrum is a scarce and valuable resource which means all countries need to use it more efficiently. The move from analogue to digital TV is one vital part of the global strategy to properly manage spectrum.

South Africa coordinates its frequency plans with other countries to ensure that there is no interference with other countries’ broadcasting signals.
