- Erste — Simulcast
- ZDF — Simulcast
- It is therefore worth limiting the length of the simulcast phase and achieving simultaneous switchover of broadcasters.
- In the period where analogue and digital broadcasts are operated in parallel (the simulcast period), switchover may actually aggravate spectrum scarcity [17].
- Following the simulcast period, transmission channels K05, K65 and K66 are currently, according to the information available to the Commission, not used for television transmission.
- These measures have allowed launching the digital terrestrial platform in line with a common timetable and without any simulcast period for commercial broadcasters at the same time in several Länder.
- On 28 February 2003, analogue broadcasting of the national commercial channels came to an end and DVB-T transmission was significantly expanded (second phase of the switch-over). As a result, these channels were completely switched to digital terrestrial broadcasting after a simulcast period lasting only four months.
- The ATT of the PSB channels ARD-Das Erste, ZDF and WDR continued in parallel for a simulcast phase of about five months until it was switched off in the Cologne/Bonn area on 8 November 2004 and in the Düsseldorf/Ruhr area on 4 April 2005.
- In the decision to initiate the procedure the Commission acknowledged that the coordination problem between market players may in principle represent a ‘market failure’ because broadcasters need to agree on common dates for the switchover in order to minimise the costs of parallel transmission, particularly as the frequency spectrum is insufficient to transmit analogue and digital TV signals in parallel (so-called simulcast phase).
- Italy started the digitisation process with Law No 66/2001 of 20 March 2001, which stipulated that the switchover to digital should be completed and transmission in analogue mode should be switched off by December 2006. As from the end of 2003 digital transmissions (T-DVB) were broadcast alongside those in analogue mode (so-called simulcast phase).
- Second, Mediaset maintains that terrestrial broadcasters and satellite broadcasters are not comparable companies, because the DTT operators are only required to achieve digitalisation and encourage the digital switchover in gradual stages (with simulcast and switch-off) and therefore terrestrial broadcasters are subject to specific public service obligations — with a view to ensuring the availability of terrestrial broadcasting throughout Italy — and to use open technologies.
- The ATT of the PSB channels ARD-Das Erste, ZDF and WDR continued in parallel for a simulcast phase of about five months until it was switched off in the Cologne/Bonn area on 8 November 2004 and in the Düsseldorf/Ruhr area on 4 April 2005. On 19 November 2004, LfM issued a directive on the financial support for DVB-T (Förderrichtlinie DVB-T) taking effect retroactively as of 3 May 2004.
- As for the broadcasters using T-DVB/C-DVB, the Commission considered that the measure in question helps those broadcasters to create and develop their audience, by relieving them of a cost that they would have normally borne had they wanted to develop their digital audience in the same way and also reduces the costs that the broadcasters emitting in simulcast would normally have to bear.
- The main barriers were: (a) a regulatory framework that would allow DTT providers to be operational only as of 2007; (b) the requirement to upgrade transmission networks at significant cost; (c) higher transmission costs for DTT than for satellite; (d) the need to roll out a large number of DTT decoders; (e) need for regulators to modify the regime applicable to national frequencies in order to implement simulcast; and (f) the risk that a significant portion of the population may not be covered by the DTT signal.
